yes & yes
Basically POTUS says he gets everything he’s asked for + some good law changes and the DACA folks get potential for 3 more years of debate with the SCOTUS ruling in the backdrop.
Popcorn wise this was a sleeper but politically this is 100% correct IMO. POTUS optics look good, he’s trying to bridge things while getting his things, which nobody faults him for. Sounds like Chuck will fillibuster.
I agree. He is showing everyone he is willing to compromise, give Dems something or things they want, all his proposals will sound totally reasonable to any sane person. Now when Dems explode and refuse to accept or even discuss, they will have further alienated anyone who is not a rabid maniacal hardcore.
And then Trump can say something like “Sorry, I wish I didn’t have to do this, but the Dems are refusing to participate in governance. So, here’s the Nat Sec wall”.
