      I’m starting to come around to this compromise. Often with compromise nobody’s happy, but if you can be happy you got something you want, maybe that’s enough. To me, DACA is worth it. I always enjoy reading your pieces, Matt, I don’t always agree, but I appreciate the fairness.

      Replying to @JodyWHL @mattklewis

      The only comment I have is by saying “the Dems have to compromise if they want the DACA deal” it sounds like the Dems are the only ones that care about DACA. This isn’t a question only for u @mattklewis but please answer if u have an opinion. I will say that is the message I see.

      That’s the way Trump hears it, and that’s what counts.

      You think Trump thinks that only the Democrats want the DACA deal? I just want to make sure understand your comment.

      No, I think he’s only ‘listening’ to the people on his side against it. I think he believes the Republicans for DACA are part of the “establishment swamp” he promised his fringe he’d stop. He’s not just against Dems, he’s fighting Republicans too.

      Makes perfect sense & I agree. Thank u for clarifying. If people are sincere about DACA they should make this a clean bill & not make these kids a political football. These are people’s lives, they are Americans as far I’m concerned & we should protect them

      I agree with that 100%. Humans as bargaining chips is disgusting and it should be a clean bill.

      We don't live in a perfect world. Politics is the art of the possible. It's also like making sausage, as they say.

          Yep. A clean bill is an ideal, but won’t happen. The bigger problem is this president has no core principles so it’s hard to say where he’ll go and why.

          A generation ago, we put a man on the moon as an indication of what was possible. Now, the art of the possible is a symbolic abomination that repudiates what the country stands for?

          W/all due respect @mattklewis & I do respect u, I felt like I just read a fortune cookie. Like I said, if the Rep don’t want us to think they don’t care about DACA they shld stop saying “the Dems have to compromise on DACA” Can’t imagine I’m the only one that hears it that way
