With
Extra Credit For Keeping Trumpie in D. C.
The Democrats did
about as well as they could have done in the recent shutdown of the
federal government. They got the Republicans to play their only big
chip, Children’s Health Insurance Program funding and they got the
Republicans to publicly commit to at least considering protecting
DACA young people. In the public's view, with its short attention
span the GOP did agree to protect DACA folks.
As an extra
benefit the Democrats kept Donnie from going to Florida, playing golf
and hobnobbing with people who were paying $100,000 to $250,000 to be
with him, (not the idle rich, the stupid rich) and kept him from
crowing about his one year in office. They also showed him up to be
the inept negotiator and problem solver that he is.
All in all,
pretty good, and while Republicans are out of weapons the Democrats
still have funding and the debt ceiling to use to get full protection
for young adults and children brought to this nation.
