Sickening that they're just playing politics with our lives.

Democrats have to withhold their votes then; simple as that.

It's starting to look like they aren't really committed to doing that though.

very true!

people think that DACA fix is the only issue that they can withhold their votes on the omnibus.

other issues such as: CHIP extension, CSRs, and other Democratic priorities are also up for debate in December.

In my opinion, this will only increases the likelihood of a govt shutdown.

#Trump doesn't want to jeopardize HIS tax cut in any way even if it means reneging on #DACA promise to #Dems. Mb potential bargaining chip.

both sides playing hard ball, we will see come December. exciting!

Some of the media and pundits love to sensationalize stuff. Ignore them!

Again , no way we are going back into the shadows!

I didn't read the article that way. I think they are trying to first get it through as a compromise bill, and if that doesn't work then withhold their votes. They don't want to come out and say they will withhold their votes until necessary.

Fake news.

No such tweet.

I watched it live on CNN. He was giving a press conference about tax reform and he started by stating that about DACA

Dem's always do this. Don't forget it was Dem's that prevented the previous DA to pass.

typical political posturing, they wanna see who breaks first.

there is no way they can pass anything at the end of the year with just Republicans.

You forget one thing, republicans can remove the 60 vote senate requirement just like they did for the supreme court judge. They have the final ACE card.

Re: Key Senate Democrats Unclear About Shutting Govt Over DACA

they tried the same thing for the ACA and it didnt work.

do you really think all 52 republicans want DACA gone? they can only afford to lose 2 votes.

and with Flake and Corker not running next year, pretty sure they will withhold their votes that doesnt provide DACA fix.

same goes for Collins, Murkowski and other moderates.
