Democrats believe they have set the stage to block President Trump’s legislative priorities for years to come by winning major concessions in a spending bill to keep the government open.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) secured nearly $5 billion in new domestic spending by exploiting disagreements between President Trump and GOP lawmakers over spending priorities.
Democrats’ lopsided victory on the five-month deal, which is likely to be approved this week, means it will be very difficult — if not impossible — for the GOP to exert its will in future budget negotiations, including when it comes to Trump’s 2018 budget blueprint.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TRUMP HAS SAID?!?!!
I can’t find if he is going to sign it or not or has even commented on it or not.
NOT WINNING.
The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
Democrats didn’t win anything.
Republicans and Democrats colluded to protect their hidden masters which do not include We the People.
Can T’s veto be overridden. The rats and rinos would love to doubly embarrass him.
Well someone’s winning. Damned if I can tell who though.
How can trump and the Republicans give the Democrats this much power????
Seriously, the Democrats control both houses of congress.
2018 and 2020 are going to be bloodbaths against Trump and the Republicans.
Schumer and Pelosi have ZERO leverage. Trump has funding for the wall, funding for the troops and the biweekly shutdown babble gets shut down throughout the summer, meaning that Schumer's SJWs won't be out in the streets.
All Schumer has is 5 more months of more liberal spending...which will get killed once Mulvaney presents a real budget accordingly instead of doing these ridiculous CRs. And Trump will veto any budget that does not prioritize his agenda in September, which will put the RINOs on notice and isolate the Rats even more.
There should be a ban against posting WP fake news.
Democrat Agenda is winning.
It’s sad and pathetic.
PAul ryan is a liberal and a uniparty D.C. Boss. he is the de facto President. he owns Trump and Trump won’t fight back.. not winning folks
He should VETO the Bill.
Trump did not give the democrats the power...The UNIPARTY did....
I am sure the Demon Rats are confident. And the comPost and the rest of the media will carry that meme.
But the fact of the matter is that this negotiation was a mop up from the last Obama era spending.
Ryan and McConnell have no excuses going to the next fiscal year.
We are watching.
This is why I Tweeted to President Trump that he should VETO the CR. If the swamp wants to override then so be it.
We all (Freepers) knew for a certainty that President Trump was going to be hamstrung by remnants of the GOPe/Repugnant Congress who will always betray us. They’re worse than useless.
It’s a complete democrat pork laden wish-list.
Corp for Public Broadcasting still there.
Planned Parenthood still there.
Funding for The Wall, nowhere to be seen.
Defunding ‘sanctuary cities’, not there.
The GOPeers are totally K-Street Uniparty and have no free-will.
