    ...his own party controls the House and the Senate. Weak Donnie is pretty pathetic.

    trump is not and never has been a negotiator. He's a bully and if he can't have his way he takes his marbles and goes to Mar-a-Lago.

    The bill is ready:

    1) DACA
    2) the wall
    3) end the lottery and chain migration

    Chuckie just has to say, "Yes".

    You are unfamiliar with our system of Government. Only Legislators can pass bills.

    Trump can undo DACA tomorrow if he wanted to. Every day the left stalls is another day closer to when the DACA illegals have to start leaving.

    I'm not losing any sleep over the disappearance of DACA.

    NEW CIVILITY WATCH: “CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson on Friday touted Democratic talking points regarding a government shutdown. Talking to Senator Cory Gardner, Dickerson tried to explain away demanding a DACA fix in return for keeping the government open. He lectured the Republican: ‘Nothing focuses the mind like a hanging.’”

    They've lost their minds.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the cloture vote just failed 50-48 with McConnell not voting and McCain "out of town."

    Some Democrats voted yes which means the actual Yeas would have come up 3-4 short of a majority.

    both he and the Speaker and McConnell promised to solve the DACA problem and they have the power to. They decided to use the DACA kids as bargaining chips instead. The Dems are honor bound to see to it that the GOP keeps its own promise to solve DACA with a nice clean bill. No point in negotiating in good faith on the CR, with the same folks that just showed their lack of good faith on the issue of DACA.

    Trump has his hard core base he's being the president for and he figures to hell with the rest of America. All he has to do is be the President for all of the American people and DACA would be good and we'd forget about the wall. Sad
