Who will be the first to give in?

[imanamerican63]

1) Dems?
2) GOP?
3) the pos Trump?

My bet is on 2 or 3!

1. From reports, Trump was ready to give in to Schumer yesterday afternoon until Kelly got to him.

[Beartracks]

2. Yeah, but would he have followed through? Trump's not exactly a man of his word. n/t

[Motley13]

3. What time is the party at Mar a Lago tonight?

4. There will be a compromise, as there should have been from the beginning

None of this had to happen.

I am hoping for permanent CHIP and extended DACA (over 5 years). It is obvious this administration and the GOP has/had no plan to replace DACA with anything better and it is too complex of an issue to expect to fix overnight (like the healthcare repeal fiasco).

5. An easy fix! But you're dealing with idiots on the right and there is Trump!

6. I would also say 2 or 3

The shutdown doesn't look good on either party initially. But as time goes on, it'll look increasingly worse and worse for Republicans because they control every arm of the government. At some point, they'll have to pull the trigger and create a compromise.

7. They always cave, we haven't lost one of these showdowns yet.

8. 1

The public will turn on the Dems. They may support DACA, but not enough to shut the government down.

[Yupster]

9. My prediction

Dems agree to a short term CR and make it clear this is the last one.

If DACA isn't agreed to during the CR period, they won't agree anymore.

That would produce pressure for the Reps to make the DACA deal or the Reps would be to blame since they were warned.

That's my prediction.
