McConnell was trying to be slick and piling DACA and CHIP together to make Dems pick one or the other, when both could have been resolved weeks earlier. His little trick failed as the Dems actually stood up to that Sophie's Choice scenario.
But, your community sounds like a cult, so no matter what is said, Putin is now Good and the FBI/CIA are bad. Poor Sarah Palin and FOX had been selling Putin as the bad guy until Putin actually started influencing their inner circle. Now, Putin is the Good Guy. They went from Patriots to Traitors in 2 years.

Questions to ask: "Isn't Trump the king of the DEAL?" Why can't he get this one done?
