Remember the scene in “Godfather 2” where Michael Corleone tells Senator Pat Geary that he would pay “nothing” for the gaming license for a casino he was buying?
Well, that’s the exact same answer Nancy Pelosi gave when asked what she’ll give up in exchange for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall:
Asked by a Harvard student what Democratic priority she would be willing to trade for Trump’s border wall, Pelosi said, “Nothing.” https://t.co/7Kblp2b9pP

Rep. Pelosi went on to call the wall a “manhood issue”:
“… one of Trump’s key policy demands — construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall — amounted to a “manhood issue” she had no interest in indulging.” @NancyPelosi @HarvardIOP

And it sounds like she wants to get rid of all fencing between Mexico and the U.S.:
“It’s immoral, expensive, ineffective and not something people do between countries,” she said. “In any event, it happens to be like a manhood issue for the president, and I’m not interested in that.”

In other words, President Trump was right: Rep. Pelosi, if she becomes Speaker of the House, is for open borders:
Democrats want open Borders, where anyone can come into our Country, and stay. This is Nancy Pelosi’s dream. It won’t happen!

And there’s a good chance the GOP loses the House in November, which would mean the wall is gone:
Trump had his chance to win wall funding. Missed it. If Ds win House, it's gone. https://t.co/OfRL5IDavU

She did signal she’d be willing to work with the president on infrastructure, however. From the Washington Post:
Pelosi said any opportunities for Democrats to work with Trump would be limited — perhaps on a national infrastructure plan, she offered, where Democrats would push for mass transit, housing and communications spending alongside roads and bridges.
Great. If Dems take the House, we’ll have two years of infrastructure weeks?
