    Schumer and Durbin just went into Senate Democratic caucus meeting to discuss whether McConnell’s stated intent for an immigration debate with a “level playing field at the outset” and amendments is enough the end the shutdown showdown. Durbin looking stone-faced

        From what I can see 45 considers DACA as immigrants. If its in bill, does anybody think he's going to vote yes? All this is major BS!!

        Of course it isn’t! We’ve come this far to roll the dice on McConnell’s “intent”? I think not.

        Just ask Sen Collins & Flake about McConnell’s (or lyin’ DT’s) promises “intent”. Try using that line in future when a bill collector calls: “Honest, I truly intended 2 pay my bill, BUT something came up!” If it’s doesn’t fly with bill collectors, Y should it fly in Congress?pic.twitter.com/zq5Jlhqedn

        If they cave I give up. But the only way to rid us of trump is to vote for Democrats. I guess get rid of trump and deal with old stupid democrats later

        @SenSchumer must stand firm here, or he will lose all credibility, and any leadership position one we take back the senate.

        He’s fighting with dirty-fighting GOP from a position of weakness (Dems hold minority in both chambers). He’s got to pick his battles wisely, or the whole enchilada (AKA future of our democratic republic) is lost.... This is no joke, & it’s definitely NOT a drill.

        This is the hill to die on, as far as I’m concerned. Lose this and sell out the dreamers and no one will take the Dems seriously again. Or at least not Schumer.

        Even tho’ polling shows 87% of voters support Dreamers, other polls show only 20% voters think using shut-down leverage is way 2 achieve it. Fact is, there’s few options available, & GOP is lying thru their lying teeth 2 successfully blame Schumer. Now is no time 4 apathy...

        I’m not sure whether you’re agreeing with me or arguing with me! I’m hardly apathetic, and neither is anyone who wants to protect DREAMers. Schumer must make the moral choice, and I really don’t think most people are fooled by the lie that this is Schumer’s fault.

        I suspect U live N bubble (or don’t engage w/Trumpians N their tweets), since defense of “Dems would cut off services 2 citizens 2 protect non-citizens” DOES resonate w/ poorly-informed voters (esp in Red States, where it’s CRITICAL 2 retake House 2 start impeachment proceedings)

        Replying to @feefer2 @NaomiSeu and

        & EVEN IF Schumer “wins” by getting DACA past Senate, reality is it WON’T pass when it returns 2 House (which is even more anti-immigrant than Senate), so it’s destined 2 die when Ryan refuses 2 let it come up 4 vote. Committing political hari-kari is NOT choosing battles wisely

        McConnell, who prevented Eric Garland from being properly seated as a justice, isn’t exactly an honest person of integrity.
