Schumer has ticked off a not-insignificant number of liberals by caving so easily with little to show for his efforts. By accepting an offer that he initially balked at, he inadvertently showed that the shutdown was primarily his (and the Democrats') fault.

Either way, I will give him credit for caving. If you're going to refuse to fund the government over an issue, perhaps it should be something that has to do with funding. It's better to figure that out sooner rather than later.
Whats the inside track on this you think?

I mean why shutdown the government if you just plan on caving anyways? Talk about stepping in dogshit. Are the democrats so arrogant that they literally thought they could hold Americans hostage to illegals wothout any pushback? Cause as soon as it came, they may have had a moment where they, for an instance came to their senses.

Did someone realize the ***sandwich was actually a ***sandwich?

Seems that way, but it's hard to say. Remember that Democrats have gotten away with placing the blame on Republicans every time. Maybe the "Schumer Shutdown" talk wasn't quite what we was expecting to see when he typically has the scapegoat-in-chief being blamed for everything ever.

No. I'm not saying that at all.

Deal hs been reached, the dems caved as they know theyre taking the blame for thre shutdown.

Trump should just *** them over and declare DACA over NOW and they need to leave immediately.
Out of curiosity, was there an outcome where you would have praised the Democrats for accepting that they can't win them all and moving center, or were you going to look for a reason to insult people no matter what?

Because that's actually a major problem right now in Washington. Gotta win and stick it to the "enemy."

The "enemy"...you know...other...Americans...

Please don't think I'm solely attacking you or the right for this. The Dems don't have the foggiest *** clue what they're doing.
It’s only being funded til Feb 8th under promise by McConell to bring a vote on DACA between now and then.

This wasn’t a victory for the Republicans or America since we’re talking about 2.5 weeks.

This wasn’t a victory for the Democrats or Americans since McConnel has demonstrated a history of not committing to keeping his word in deals made with Democrats.
He doesn't keep his word in deals with Republicans either.

When the process finish's, they've already begun it. It's currently classified so kinda need to declassify it, and everything involving congress takes forever. The President ~could~ declassify it instantly but then Dems would lose their ***about him getting involved.

Remember kids, Trump is a terrible negotiator. He doesn't know how to make a deal in the least.

He's so bad that the Dems literally caved on everything they demanded.

Pretty much this, nothing has changed, if DACA doesn't get sent to Trump's desk by the 8th, the gov't will shut down again.

Seems like a test run, I'm guessing the shutdown next month will be a lot longer. I actually think the Senate can pass a DACA fix, the House is the problem, Paul Ryan will have to ignore the tea party.
