The interesting part in this is that this is what Trump threatened to do, only with Republicans...

Exactly, if they can't pass anything and offer their small concessions, then the DA will pass clean.
Democrats are negotiating high to get the least amount of consessions for DA, which is ultimately good.
If Dems had come out and said we'll trade dreamers for whatever republicans want, that's not good leverage or negotiation.
