“The Democrats weren’t gullible for believing Republicans. They were gullible for believing that the average American could fight for Dreamers”

Then vote Republican. They sound like they are more your type of party.

Many of the Republican members of the House wouldn’t vote for the spending bill because it blows up the deficit. Ryan needed Democrats to sign on to make up for the Republicans who wouldn’t play ball.

Jill Stein is currently being investigated for her ties to Russia.

The Republicans could only have kept the government running with Democratic support in the House and blowing up the filibuster in the Senate.

And yet there are only two viable choices come November.

I don’t envy them. It was a fraught issue. I think they were damned either way.

I honestly think that the Republicans would never have allowed a vote on DACA. You may disagree. The important thing is to take back the house in 2018.

Simple logic seems to escape most people on this thread (as well as the author).
