I think we lost the battle but won the war, the senate is useless with a supermajority if the they can’t pass legislation. That being said 2 years of trump being cornered by the house. Trump can’t pass laws, he will be held accountable by house investigations and subpoenas. He won’t get a wall and if he wants one he will have to compromise. The senate supermajority can be overturned in 2 years so basically the senate only can confirm judges that’s it. As for daca, we have to a chance in December when the appropriations for the wall come up for a vote, the only chance republicans will have to get a daca/wall deal before the new congress begins, and the fact that democrats can now demonize trumps presidency for 2020 by making him look bad, and won’t get things done. Like what republicans did to Obama.

Senate was always a reach, but getting the House is important.

Winning the Senate would not have made a change in the calculation in terms of DACA, as there will always be the demands from the administration to sign off.

Winning the House now forces any legislation to be approved by Democrats, which is what was needed and this is what we got tonight.

Now there will be no talks of building the wall, but there will be the talks of what will go with DACA + wall.

I think the big question for us is when they will address this. Most likely after SCOTUS decides DACA in June next year, which means the next six months will be more waiting.

This is unless SCOTUS decides to have a preliminary injunction against DACA, but this is very unlikely since DACA has been in effect for years and will be hard for the plaintiff to prove irreparable harm.

Jeff Sessions needs to be fired this minute.

I am patiently awaiting and I hope Trump humiliates him. Here is hope that his replacement will stop this End DACA bullshit.

At this point they need to just drop the investigation already. As much as I want Trump impeached it’s never going to happen and we’re losing time.

Exactly, pointless. I am okay with Trump being President. He's just a stupid asshole. He can be a President for all I care. I care about my own green card lol.
