On the other hand, Dems don't appear to have the upper hand politically, & the longer this goes the worse it could go. This is not 2013.

if that is true I am not sure what is different on Feb 8 though... We went through this exercise a month ago. Ds blinked, passed a CR. If they cave to a promise what changes in 3 weeks? At some point you have to make a stand, no?

How far are you willing to take this? Rs won' budget. That's doesn't help DACAs either. In 2013, Rs said time to take a stand. Obama was never going to budget, Rs capitulated because they were losing argument w/ voters.

i mean this is not my choice. I think Ds are happy to have the government open on a short term (3-5 days) basis but the pressure needs to be kept up. Nothing happens in Congress unless there is a deadline and urgency.

Understood. Question: Isn't March 5 a deadline of sorts? Or is the feeling that POTUS doesn't want to do this so Ds need another pressure point?

It is a deadline of sorts but people are losing status now. Plus I can already imagine Rs saying, well these people will not be a priority for deportation anyway and its not big numbers yet so we have time...

That we can 1000% agree on. Its horrible to, because i think in reality, the Daca/Dream deal i think would easily pass, as would funding for the rest of the FY. Its all politics and congress looks horrible
