        I'm not clear that there was really another choice, since Dems do not have a majority. They got CHIP back, and a chance to fight again. Activists need to look more closely; until 2018 vote, options are limited.

        Not to mention, Rs would love for Ds to go off the deep end fighting among themselves. Important not to get into that.

        We need to stop the infighting. Full stop. We take this to the 8th and take it down if there's no agreement. I can't see a lot that would have been a win today, but we've got CHIP now.

        No we're not. Anyone who believes the Republicans are going to stop a government shutdown (which they love) by approving a good DACA bill (which they absolutely hate), is living in an alternative universe.

        We are in this mess because people stayed home, didn't vote, cried because Hillary wasn't baking cookies and knitting and being nice. So enjoy this Dystopian Shit Stew with a side of Police State... so yes, how moderate of me, maybe more of you need to be too

        Exactly. Dems freed 9 million hostages. Republicans have to negotiate without the CHIP kids locked in the basement next time. And if the moderates fail to get a veto-proof bill, we'll be right back at #TrumpShutdown on February 8th at 11:59 p.m. https://twitter.com/MarkHarrisNYC/status/955499466911633409 …

        Liberal activists should remember that Repukes took over because the Dems went too far to the left...and now the Repukes are going too far to the right, and they will suffer the same defeats that the Dems did in 2010 and 2014. Extremism on BOTH sides is hurting this country.

        Ain’t nuthin worse than a self-satisfied, economically comfortable centrist. And Bernie Sanders was to the right of LBJ, ffs. This isn’t ancient history we’re talking about.

        It is time to reorganize the American government & eliminate the office of the POTUS. We can do better without him and this shutdown has proven that.

        My God, they only funded the government for three weeks, and then this will all be revisited or there will be a serious shutdown. Stop soiling your shorts in rage, people.

        So what happens in 3 weeks when the Rs are not negotiating in good faith. Then what?

        Then the GOP hands Dems another nuke to use against Repubs in November. But remember that this promise was made to Repubs who want a DACA fix (like Lindsey Graham) as well as Dems. If Mitch reneges, GOP will have some pissed off caucus members.
