He still has a year or two to use his pen and phone. No skin off his nose and he may save the senate...

What makes them think *he* needs the Senate? He’ll just go ahead and do whatever he wants, Congress be damned.

Wait. What? All the top Democrat strategists along with the media intelligentsia told everyone that immigration reform - amnesty - pathway-to-citizenship was critical to Republicans if they EVER wanted to ever win another election again.
Now Democrats are running away from immigration reform??? No, it can't be.

Hang in there Democrats, the Republicans will join you shortly, and then it will be a push.
Might just as well tell it like it is...

The dirty little secret is that there are a lot of white dems that don’t like the idea of the country turning brown.

The dirty little secret is that there are a lot of white dems that dont like the idea of the country turning brown. That may be true in the citizenry at large. In the Senate, maybe less so, as their time horizon is next-term elections more than the fate of their country.

The dems are feeling the heat. I identified the source.. It’s the every day joe. (dem joe)
To: Kid Shelleen
Interesting that disgruntled Dems had to leak this to The Guardian - presumably because Dem mouthpieces in the US wouldn’t touch the story with a 10 foot pole.

What makes them think *he* needs the Senate?It's not like Mitch McConnell would be all that much less cooperative than Harry Reid. Heck, the GOP-e wants amnesty too!

Most of the lobbying has taken place behind closed doors but it is now breaking into the open. In recent days, Democrats running in crucial Senate races, including Alaska, North Carolina, Kentucky, Minnesota and New Hampshire, have all released statements publicly opposing the use of presidential authority to enact immigration reform.I'm sort of confused...
According to the left and their lapdog media, the GOP is about to go belly up infighting with the "evil" Tea Party factions...

The Clown will wait until after the election.
And the Senate should still go Republican.

Barky’s focus is on the coveted UN job.
“Executive action” would just add to his bone fides.
To: refermech
Its the every day joe. (dem joe) So what you mean is, the stupidity of white Democrat voters trumps their racism?

They want the senate first. Then they can dictate amnesty to Obama. Who will then legalize millions of illegals and in 2016 the media will blame the Republicans to go along with Hillary being against amnesty.
A six year old can guess this.
