“Trump has them backed to the wall. “
True but I see it in a different way. He’s forcing the Dems to make a hard choice, which will screw them either way:
1. They can choose to stand firm on “no Wall” and he will allow DACA to expire and they risk losing those 800,000 potential Dem voters that is the driving force behind DACA.
or
2. They can work with Trump on a compromise deal that offers some kind of solution for DACA AND also includes a level of funding for the Wall that Trump considers acceptable. He will “trumpet” this a a Yuge Success, and that he’s fulfilled his #1 campaign pledge, and each one of those Dems can explain to their constituents in a mid-term election year why they voted to sleep with the enemy.
Either, there’s a major downside for Dems and none for Trump, since he can easily point to the comment he made the other day saying he’d sign whatever bill the Dems brought forward, and that they failed so the end of DACA is on them. Or he will turn starting construction of the Wall into the biggest “bipartisan” photo op of all time, thanking all of his good Democrat friends for making the Wall possible!
The Dems can shout, yell and scream all they want. At the end of the day they will give Trump the immigration bill he wants. Trump used a ploy the Dems fell for hook, line and, sinker!!! In fact...some stupid Republicans put their feet in their mouth, just like the insane Democrats.
Folks, a slime filled politician and a creative business person are not alike at all!!! Dems have not learned that yet. Trump does not put points on the board the way dumb politicians do.
