The meeting looks like just a trap by the GOP. Even if Schumer and Pelosi had attended they would have been given totally unacceptable terms and the trashed for not accepting them. Or they would have been given false promises to bait them later. And we can look for more of this mayhem going forward on the shut down. It will be full extortion by the GOP to get what they want. They never present anything without poison in it.
The ultimate goal is to blame the Democrats for all the destruction the GOP plans to cause. It is so obvious the GOP will never work with the Democrats on anything at all. Not now and not in the future no matter how bad it gets. The situation is much like committing murder and handing the gun to the person you want to take the blame.
All we can expect is madness and chaos. Trump is just one of the villains.
