The question is will McConnell and Ryan go sloppy and soft on illegal immigration? They’re the one who will be working out a deal with the Democrats.

Those two clowns have been MIA from the beginning. They want amnesty guaranteeing a dem majority in perpetuity. They have demonstrated time and again that they lack even a modicum of leadership, and are happy to sit in the back of the room while the dems destroy our country. They just want the perks, and to hell with the electorate.

You've got to think when it comes to internal polling DACA is way way down on the list of concerns granted Immigration policy in general is most likely much higher on the list. How long are GOP representatives and senators going to let this be a bottle neck?

The Wall must get built if president Trump wants to insure his re-election it is a visible symbol, heck a tangible thing, of the government and elected officials keeping the faith with the American voters. It is way more important than keeping the DACAns here.

I'm surprised Senator Durbin breached the confidence of the closed door negotiations as it most likely will lead to having no deal and in overall strategy a win on DACA (keeping them here) is more important to the Democrats (its a minus to conservative voters). Senator Durbin blew up a process that looked like it had a chance of producing a suitable political outcome for his side. Most likely all this indicates is Durbin is as dumb as we suspect but usually even these dumb political types are very cagey savvy around these things.

The way I see this going down is the president getting to use this as a bat over the democrats head. He gave them six months to come up with something reasonable, they gave him a bill that satisfied none of his stated guidelines or even attempted to and then they sabotaged the negotiations with a contrived controversy that nobody cares about other than those who hate Trump and hate people who don't vote Democrat.

It all reminds me of when Yassir Arrafat was offered most of what he wanted and turned it down. I think the Democrats want the pictures of in the media of DACAns being deported. They still think the media has more influence than it does.

It strikes me as people living in the past with an outdated playbook refusing to pay attention to what is going on. In the course of them thinking they are playing the president it is them who is getting played.

Political masturbation Democrat style

McConnell and Ryan were always sloppy and soft on immigration.

Nothing good with come out of this Congress.
We have just 5 Senators on the side of the citizens and the rule of law and maybe 50 House members.
We MUST remove the Bush League Republicans and replace them with patriots.
