Saving our country by working with Schumer and Pelosi?
Working with them to do away with the debt ceiling?
Might as well have elected Hillary.
With her Obamacare would still be in effect,would still be paying high taxes,corporate taxes would be highest in the world,military would be underfunded,left wing media,education establishment would be indoctrinating our youth into leftist homosexual perversion on our tv shows and in kindergarten classes.
So what has Trump accomplished but make them happy now?

The GOP held firm against a Democrat president (Obama) trying to make DACA law. But now that Trump is pushing Congress to pass it, like Nixon going to China, Trump will be able to put a few Republicans together with all or virtually all Democrats to make this amnesty legal.

By saying he wants Congress to act, he has taken away any leverage to all get wall funding or the RAISE Act in exchange for it. And he has promised “Dreamers” that if Congress doesn’t pass such a law in the next six months (which it will very likely do) he will step in to take action—which is exactly what Obama did to create DACA to start with.

Gosh, you’d think everyone but Trump is the President.

I love how Trump is always portrayed as some toddler being lead around by his intellectual superiors.

But as with all things Trump, time will tell.

And, of course, there would be no need for him to “revisit” DACA if he just wanted it to end.

He’s not doing this for adulation. He’s doing it to save our country.

And snuggling up to Pelosi and Schumer is the way to do it?

‘The GOP held firm against a Democrat president (Obama) trying to make DACA law.’

Why would the Uniparty need to legalize DACA when they were on course to legalize all 60 or 80 million, or however many illegals are in the country? The Senate passed amnesty with ease, and with plenty of room to spare. Boehner and McCarthy counted the House and had an assured margin of victory (for amnesty).

Eric Cantor was defeated literally within two to three days of the House vote. Dave Brat and his tireless supporters are ALL that saved us from amnesty. (As soon as word of Cantor’s defeat spread, previously pledged Yes votes began reporting to Boehner and McCarthy that they had shifted to No.)

Enough about the Uniparty holding firm. If overcooked spaghetti is firm, the Uniparty held firm.

Is that the best analysis you can do? From a prior post:

What’s happening is nothing more than The Art of the Deal. According to Trump, you can’t make a good deal if the other party thinks you are unable or unwilling to walk away. McConnell and Ryan have been thinking this all along. It’s their MO. I.e.: they give us repulsive candidates like McCain and Romney, and then snicker, ‘What are you going to do? Vote Democrat?’

They tried the same strategy on Trump and he did an end run. The point was not to side with Pelosi. The point was to let McConnell and Ryan know they haven’t got Trump in the box they thought they had him in. It will give Trump invaluable leverage in the future.

“You are lying again.”

Again?

you gave yourself away on that one.

See, you should have just left it at “you are lying”, but you just proved you’re making shite up by adding the “again”.

Nice mental gymnastics but a major failure. You lied twice in your post:

1. You said I was banned - NEVER happened.
2. You said I’m a Never Trumper - Not true - voted for Trump in primaries, general, and have pro-Trump blog.

2 lies.
