Democratic leaders face backlash if they compromise on wall
By Alexander Bolton - 01/03/19 06:00 AM EST

Democratic activists are warning that Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) will face angry backlash from their liberal base if they compromise on border fencing without getting a significant concession from President Trump in return.

“Americans overwhelmingly voted for Democratic control of the House to put a check on Trump on exactly this kind of reckless behavior,” said Charles Chamberlain, chairman of Democracy for America, a grassroots liberal advocacy group.

“Democrats need to stand up for American values and a check on Trump, over and over again, as many times as they have to, to defeat the worst policies of this administration,” he said. “That’s what we’re expecting them to do and if there’s brinksmanship from Trump that causes damage to America, that’s on Trump.”

Just how big is their "liberal base"?  Bigger than their "socialist base" but smaller than their "progressive base". 
With all the bases the rats have ....I want to know who's on first.
