We will now be treated to a wave of complaints from the left that if Schumer had just hung in there, he & Dems could have won. Same thing GOP right said after the Ted Cruz shutdown failed back in 2013. Two sides. Same coin.

I doubted it was possible, but Dems have actually lost a shutdown fight. Schumer has agreed to end the filibuster in exchange for practically nothing. Make no mistake: Schumer & Dems caved. What a political fiasco.

When Trump did his immigration show, inviting the media and asking the lib what they wanted, this issue was over. Trump effectively took all the high ground. Shumer and company are not only completely political, they are completely insane. They can rely on the media....but ultimately the people still decide.

Free the Fisa.

My guess is the Schumer saw this shutdown as a loser, and is going to plan B.

After the clean immigration bill fails, with a No vote in the Senate, or a Trump veto, the Democrats will go right back to a shutdown with more ammo against the GOP.

They're not caving, They're doing a strategic retreat. It's Dunkirk.

They lost because, for the first time in their experience, they were up against a real fighter, our PRESIDENT TRUMP.
