    I think his point is made though, they don't have to cave to The Dufus, or Moron Mitch. LOL, Tom, I wouldn't try screwing with Chuck on this DACA fix, or a few other things. Take it as a warning shot across the repubs bow. Dufus has veto power, but the votes say OVERRIDE!

    Blumenthal, Cortez-Masto, Feinstein, Gillibrand, Harris, Hirono, Leahy, Menendez, Merkley, Murphy, Sanders, Tester, Warren, Booker
    all voted no .

    so what did the Schmuckster accomplish ?

    He got a debate on a Dreamer bill McConnell said he'd have anyway
    He exposed lack of popular support for Dems' Dreamer obsession
    He caved on the Wall, which is now part of baseline for new negotiations.

    He got a PUBLIC commitment for a FAIR debate, and many republicans publically agreed to hold his a$$ to it no matter what the Dufus says when he gets out of the closet Kelly locked him into.

    He exposed lack of popular support for Dems' Dreamer obsession

    That lack of support was in comparison to the shutdown, but nationally among the citizens it's a very popular topic. That included a vast majority of repubs.

    He caved on the Wall, which is now part of baseline for new negotiations.

    Dufus was going to get something for a wall, the form that takes though may not be as big and beautiful as he thinks, just because even repubs think it's a perfect waste of money! For sure rich guy's ain't paying for it, or their kids. If Mexico doesn't come through, then that leaves me and you Tom, so are you ready to ante up?

    yes Tal I'm willing to pay for it because my taxes pay for the welfare of the invaders now . I think a wall will save me money.

    You can stop all this quickly by erecting a banking wall, no remittances. It means those in the US would have to take a trip and once across the border good luck at getting back
