The Dems play hardball.

Republicans play Tiddlywinks..............

[rjsimmon]

So which is it Dems? Do you care more for illegals or American children?

I know, rhetorical question...

[chris37]

Guess which one is the GOP.

[sickoflibs]

Trump needs to stop acting and talking like Linda Grahamnesty (Lindsey Graham ) is his friend and treat him like the slimy backstabbing Weasel that he is.

I saw Graham say that Republicans will not be able to blame a Democrat Senate DACA based shutdown on Dems, basically that if Dems block the budget over DADA its the Republicans and Trump’s fault and they will get the blame.

At one time a few years back I believe that the Democrats demanded a “clean bill” to keep the government running.

[DoodleDawg]

Hardball my foot. The Democrats can paint this as a victory in finally getting the Republicans to extend the CHIP program. They can point to the continuing discussions with the Gang of Six as evidence that the Dreamer issue will be settled long before this continuing resolution expires in February.

And when February comes, what do the Republicans use to get the Democrats to sign off on the next continuing resolution?

[Seaplaner]

All the GOP has to do is look to the booming economy and its lingering sore spots for clues.

Well, okay; however the GOPers' biggest concern is the potential ire of GOP (and Indie) voters who have somehow finally discovered what a huge voting bloc we are, and how we simply do not want compromise on key (read "immigration" and "border") issues.

I see this as giving the Rats way to much in return for kicking the can a month. And, what and we getting in this bill that exceeds what the Rats are getting? Nothing that I have seen.

Keeping the government open for another month is of no interest to me.

Can you imagine the fun Trump would have if the dems shut the government down?!?

He wouldn’t shut down the parks, that’s for sure. Other than the msm sob stories and screaming, we’d hardly notice. Then after 2 months, (Trump via twitter):

“If all these furloughed gov workers are non-essential, do we really need them back? Has anyone really noticed they are gone?!?”
