Patty Murray's advice to Paul Ryan: 'Follow your heart' on DACA
 
Quote:

"My advice to Paul Ryan is follow your heart," Murray told David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," a podcast produced by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN. "I think that if he follows his heart and tells his Republican caucus 'those of you who can't vote with this fine, but we're going to bring it to the floor, and we're going to vote on it," he will get the votes for it," said Murray.

Murray emphasized that fixing the problem was not an issue of having enough votes in Congress, but a question of Speaker Paul Ryan's and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's own willingness to lead their colleagues to do what she said they knew was right.

"I know that if they bring it up for a vote that we will be able to permanently pass the policy. This is going to take leadership. You know what, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell's problem is not the votes on this. It's the leadership. You have to be willing to say this is what's right for my country rather than 'I'm worried if I bring this up that I'll get voted out of my leadership position.' People want leaders," Murray said. "They want people to speak from their heart. They want them to do the right thing. They don't want them to play politics. And I think we've got the votes if we have two leaders who will bring it up."

Who would of thought I'd be them, not Trump, standing in the way of Dream Act.

Spineless cowards.

Yup, Dream Act will pass in both Houses if it's brought up for a vote. That's what Ryan and McConnell are afraid of happening.

Democrats need to withhold any votes on future budget bills until DA is succesfully attached.

Preserving DACA and helping us is more popular than ever.

Congress don't work on heart. If they have heart, they would have passed it years ago. It's all about the what would benefit them in reelection.
