Democrats in DC need to shout "Trump wants to deport the Dreamers. He killed DACA! He doesn't

want a deal! He's trying to deport them. He signed the Executive Order to do it."
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
all week.
Trump is trying to flip the script and say Democrats don't want a deal to save DACA and the Dreamers.
the world needs to be reminded of the Truth.
But will the Party leaders let him redefine the argument in a Orwellian/Luntz-like manner?
this shit matters.

if they don't get the DACA deal? When the govt shut down under Clinton the GOP tried to blame the Dems but it backfired and no one fell for it.

the way we want, sets up our issue in the best light, corrects the record, and not letting the GOP set the talking points on this standoff.
