Sen Durbin "hopeful but not confident" that Dream Act will pass - Page 2

^^pretty much.

He is also being cautious since he does not want to fuck up negotiations on Thursday.

Yeah and it wouldn't be wise to say yeah we are going to pass it. Then the GOP would receive more pressure from their base to act against it.

That article is very short and I wouldn’t doubt that Durbin is putting on his poker face so the Republican Party supporters don’t get their panties in a bunch ....

For the love of god I'm praying for DA but if for some reason they can;t there do Bridge Act. Anything

Durbin said he was confident in 2012.

This means it will not pass.

I really hope Durbin is putting on his poker face too :/. This is our best chance at something passing. I hope Democrats stand their ground and not cave in, otherwise, we are screwed.

Different circumstances don't compare. Even if it sounds crazy we have better chances to pass it under trump than with obama.

I am not comparing the circumstances.

I am comparing what he said. Wouldn't you think he looked at the circumstances as well?

maybe he just doesnt want to fuck it up n have people declare victory just yet, and loose steam at most critical point

That is a weird strategy.
