Schumer pretends he has bargaining power, takes The Wall off the negotiating table
Playing chicken with Trump’s Wall may not be the best strategy
Legal Insurrection, Jan 23, 2018, Kemberlee Kaye   

Senate Minority Leader Schumer managed to single-handedly tick off the entire Democrat, progressive, and liberal political world with his inability to bring home any bacon from the shutdown fiasco.

Rather than agreeing to a deal Friday, before the federal government funding ran out, Schumer insisted on dragging out negotiations until Monday, only to concede. As if that weren’t bad enough, the agreed upon deal gave even more tax cuts to Republicans.

With his base up in arms, Schumer withdrew a handsome funding package for Trump’s long-promised southern border wall. Or so claim the Democrats.

Dick Durban, the second-highest ranking Democrat says Schumer called the White House to tell them no deal, but the White House says the deal never existed.

"Schumer pretends he has bargaining power, takes The Wall off the negotiating table"

It was never ON the table.
That it might have been was a deception promulgated by the democrat-communists, who would NEVER agree on the principle of a border barrier.

Prediction:
The Pubbies can pass a separate piece of legislation authorizing funds for the border barrier, if they want.
There's only one catch -- they'll have to nuke the filibuster rule first to git 'er done.
