Don't Expect DACA Or CHIP Passing Without Massive Extortion By GOP/TRUMP.

I expect that the GOP will ask such a high price to pass those bills knowing they will fail. That means using Fox and RW media to blame and paint the Democrats as the saboteurs.

in 3 months and pass a CR in a couple of weeks? Dems should draw a line in the sand. This is what will get our votes - throw in a repeal of the tax scam or demand inheritance tax and increased capital gains as offsets and then negotiate back to CHIP and DACA. The Republicans are the ones that are fiscally irresponsible - market that! Shout it, repeat it and repeat again. How many times do we need to bail Trump and the GOP out of their fiscal irresponsibility by raising the debt limit and passing CRs without addressing things that will help our economy? DACA benefits the economy. CHIP has long term benefits to society and the economy. Why aren't we investing in the people?

The republicans will blame it on the Democrats in congress either way.

So do not give in.

The republicans have to own the mess they made.

The Democrats need demand things not give things away.
