media is significantly further left than senate dems, and senate dems know "clean dream" will never happen

-
they are prepared to bargain and unlike gop don't have the freedom to walk away (unless scotus upholds 9th cir but that would be insane)
-
I'm guessing Trump won't accept anything less than what this proposal gives, and if Dems don't just accept it right away he'll withdraw the offer and let them talk to Cruz as bad cop.

I suppose I can't rule out Schumer going for it. I find it kind of unlikely. The concessions to Reps are pretty painful. Note it'll also split the Reps; Cruz came out against any DACA amnesty at all.
-
cruz is a non-entity in this. moderate republicans will support whatever seems like it'll work (feather in cap mindset), and if trump gets cotton and goodlatte he has the hardliners
-
the only ways this blows up is if trump in a fit of madness renegs or if dems try to extract concessions enough to make it unpalatable to anti-immig side
-
My predictions: 1. this deal doesn't go through, 2. most blame Dems for this, 3. Dems don't get any more favorable deal. We'll see what happens.
-
imo whether it goes through or not is a coin toss but either way dems look bad
-
the real question is whether the rose displaynames can organize to primary incumbents for their own hardliners
