Schumer: There needs to be a big deal for the government to reopen

(CNN) Sen. Chuck Schumer said Saturday that there needs to be a big deal on a range of topics -- including not just immigration, but also domestic spending levels -- for the government to reopen.

Speaking to CNN's Manu Raju on Capitol Hill, the Democratic minority leader said he will not agree to a three-week continuing resolution and that immigration is not the only topic that he wants to see addressed in a bill that he would support.

"We need a good bipartisan agreement that allows us to get a good defense number, get a good non-defense number, get a vote on the Dreamers bill and get that done, and deal with the disasters, too," Schumer said. "There's a whole lot to do, and our Republican colleagues have sent us just a CR which doesn't do the job."

Dems are holding their ground good shit !!!

This is the correct strategy. Try to push the immigration issue to the back and show the public that Trump and the republicans are failing to lead and compromise on a variety of issues.

so are they gonna use this for other stuff on their agenda besides what the plan originally was?

this is political suicide if they mishandle it.

chuck shumer baby!!!!! get em as you can........GOP has to bend at some point, this is the only leverage democrats have1!

the grand dealio.

Day 1: Succesfully held the line

I hope Trump has a meeting with the big 4 and cuts a deal with Dems

I’m loving Democrats so much right now!

Papa Schumer will need Trump to give him a blowjob before the government opens.

Is Schumer finally Flashing his Big D
