Schumer should frame this as "stoping the government war on DACA children" rather than a shutdown.



Resolving the DACA issue is widely popular and ultimately will have a near unanimous resolution. Schumer is losing on the framing issue because people are talking about the shutdown rather than framing it as an opportunity to stop the government from harming 800,000 innocent families.

I just watched a room full of them talking to that Nazi Luntz and 9 out of 10 of them are THRILLED with what trump is doing and would love to vote for him again.

Half of this country are enemies of the country and the human race, no other way to put it.

If we learned anything from Frank Luntz and Trump, it's that the American people are stupid, and like catchphrases.

Call it the Republican war on DACA children, or something that leaves the impression that the Republicans are (rightly) at fault here.
