    Several progressive senators not happy with this deal - they don’t trust McConnell and think their party shouldn’t have accepted his assurances

        Kamala Harris: “Listen, I’m disappointed with a conversation that suggests a false choice, you either fund the government or you take care of these DACA kids,” Harris says. “We can do both.”

        They're right, but there's a benefit: McConnell is now on record as supporting a full debate on DACA, and he's only got a couple of weeks to wrangle his conference on it. Suddenly Democrats have the upper hand: "Vote for DACA fix or we walk and we won't come back."

        Finally #CHIP has a 6 yr reprieve which was about time IMO! UNBELIEVABLE to have used health care for kids as political bargaining chip by Republicans......no joke intended! #TrumpShutdown #TrumpBreaksDeals

        They’re right. McConnell (and Trump, and Ryan) have proven over and over they can’t be trusted.

        Leverage to get it to pass. McConnell, Ryan & Trump will be exposed as failures, dems pick up the ball, plant their feet.

        In theory this is perfect, and my thought exactly. I don’t holdout much hope in practice, however.

        It's the best bet available. I think this is ultimately a winning strategy for dems. Also helps 10 red state dems who needed chips.

        I’m a moderate and I can see that this deal is not going to play out like Schumer thinks it will. Republicans will take a beating though if Democrats reopen the government in good faith and there’s no resolution for Dreamers.

        And mod. GOP actually gain leverage. Dems are being smart, not trusting.

        Say that McConnell actually did keep his promise. There’s no guarantee and even less of a chance that Ryan will bring DACA up for a vote.

        I am not happy either but to play the long game this was the best option. The GOP is on the record about saying they will do a deal & if they don't the 70+ percent of Americans who support DACA will vote in 2018.

        I fear for the Dreamers, too. That was not going to change today regardless. The GOP is out of step with the majority of Americans on this. I hope we can pressure enough of them to save DACA w/o caving on family reunification.

        The GOP is allowing a small number of hateful racists to control their thoughts and governing. That is pathetic.
