I like you, and I voted for you, but are you participating in this farce simply because this is the only piece of leverage you have? If so, then the situation is more dire than I realised; clearly the GOP has the Democrats over a barrel.

Or maybe because DACA is important and supported by the majority of Americans?

And before you bring up the GOP-led shut down, let just say, "two wrongs don't make a right", even if for the right reasons.

Well he’s standing his ground for what the people want. Which is what an elected official should do. Represent what the people want.

Fair enough. But a caveat is necessary: with the right marketing, you can create a demand for anything. The people want what they're told they should want. Clinton, herself, referred to this when describing Sanders promising everyone ponies.

These kids didn’t have a choice. They couldn’t tell their parents to leave them in a country all alone. Why punish them for something they had no control over especially when they’re model citizens.

Kind of a generalisation, but I'll overlook it. And your point is fair enough. But think about the precedent this sets: essentially we risk unchecked colonisation in our future. And yes, we did exactly that in our past, but do we intend to play this game, over and over?

How is it a generalization? They were children that’s point they had no say. They’re model citizens because to be on DACA you must have a clean record.

Can you withhold your vote if he doesn't implement the Russia sanctions as well?
-
He obviously knows those sanctions were based on a phony ploy cooked up by Obama and Hillary. Memo and Documents are going to lay it all out.

OMG can people stop blaming Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama? They are no longer in the conversation. The idiot in the White House IS.

Cathy must have missed the memo

Who the hell got us all in the mess we are in if not for their reign of terror? Didn't start with Trump!

I believe a slide began after 9/11. The country jumped into 2 wars (Bush, if you want names), Obama put more troops into Afghanastan. Positive action came from the TPP, the Paris Climate Accord, and our relationships with allies around the world. Trump has decided to end all 3.

Both bushes were turds, Obama was King turd, Obama didn't just put more troops in Afghanistan he Bond 8 more countries and started 12 more conflicts within Africa that we know of
-
I trust President Obama made difficult decisions all the time. If we sent bombs, or our military, there was a good reason for it. I don't know what he knew as he plowed through what must have been 8 tough years. But I trust he thoughtfully did the best job he could. I loved him.
