I am worried that now that Donald Trump is saying he will not sign the CR that.Democrats will cave. How likely are Democrats to cabe and give Trump the miney he wants for the wall?

Anyway, Republicans are in control of Congress, so the more prudent strategy for Democrats is to just let the Republicans twist in the wind and deal with it. Trump is ultimately their problem.

They can say no now, and they can say no in January. Nothing really changes for them. They've got the high ground.
