The Dems are royally screwed in this deal. They took a hard line betting that the Rs would fold on Friday in order to avoid a shutdown. The Rs have no incentive to deal now and this is squarely on the Ds. I don't think that I have ever seen a political calculation backfire on this scale.

The longer it goes on the more damage it will inflict in trump.

He's supposed to be able to close any deal.

Dems have the leverage and they know it.

Now every time a illegal immigrant commits a major crime, Trump will make sure everyone knows that’s who the democrats shut the government down for .

This won’t affect Trump at all, his base knows the stakes....

There is no damage to Trump, Trump is golden as companies continue to announce windfall benefits to everyday Americans through the new tax plan.

Trump is absolutely fricking golden as long as the Stock Market doesn't fold, point blank

Yep, and that stock market is only going one way right now, and that’s up.

Give it 3-4 months and let’s see the tax cuts really start to do work.

The shutdown is the process of closing the deal, dufasbaw

Only reprobates with no self discipline are impatient, the adults know how to wait it out, Schumer owns this shat

If Trump isn't careful, rinos, msm and democrats may attack him. That's never happened. Whatever will he do?

But it doesn't look bad for the Democrats. Every news outlet and newspaper is blaming this on Trump or Republicans. The public has no idea how these things work, but they can read and comprehend "Trump is the boogeyman"

Start rounding up the dreamers tomorrow and Schumer will beg to negotiate.

Let it stay shut down.
Trump will rub it in their face that they shut down the government for illegal cockroaches and poor American kids don’t have healthcare, the military isn’t getting paid and our national parks are closed. While government is being held hostage for non us citizens here illegally, hard working American citizens are suffering. Communist have taken the side of another country’s citizens over America.
Let it last for months. Keep the pressure on. Bring tv crews to hospital rooms of chip kids scared the democrats took their healthcare away and the parents think they will see their kids die because of democrats.
Show military families being evicted because they didn’t get paid, because of democrats.
Keep the pressure on. Trump needs to bring mothers and wives of slain Americans that were victims of democrat supported illegals. Keep up the pressure until the democrats beg us to build the wall and deport the cockroaches.

That’s a lot of pain and suffering you are taking about inflicting in order to just score some political points.

Especially as it’s unlikely you’ll have a complicit media to browbeat the point.

How do democrats have the leverage? Trump can send ICE to deport the dreamers . Trump got less then a 1/3 of the spanish votes in 2016. If democrats don’t get the DACA deal then less Spanish voters could turn out for them in 2018 and 2020.

This is why I said that Trump should've simply terminated DACA immediately with no delay at all.
