Democrats caved on the shutdown, and they’re admitting it
The Washington Post ^ | January 22, 2018 | By Aaron Blake

You don't need me to tell you that Democrats just caved when it comes to ending the government shutdown; even some of their leading senators are admitting it. Here's Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate:

“I don’t believe he made any commitment whatsoever and I think it would be foolhardy to believe he made a commitment.” Cc: Democratic leadership.

Here's another critic, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.):

Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says she’s “very disappointed” in deal because there’s no guarantee House will pass fix to help Dreamers.

I can support a permanent fix for the CACA/DACA illegals - that would be send them all back to their respective countries.

The Lying Leftist Dems are just like the Islamic terrorists. They rattle their swords and bellow out great thunderings, but when opposed with determined force and will, they run deep into their caves and hide.

You’re going up against Trump you clowns. When he says it, he does it.

Bull.
It was just a “show” shutdown all along.
Something to ‘show’ their ‘dreamers’ minions that they were trying.

Dems never wanted it to last but the weekend.
A bonus- they ‘stepped on’ Trump’s anniversary.

I would imagine that their voters back home had a lot to do with their caving.

Thanks to Democraps it gets easier to spare a dime every day.

People don’t bother to pick up pennies on the ground anymore. And soon they won’t bother picking up dimes.

Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not naturally an American because she was born Jamaican and Indian in America.

Not a natural born citizen, not eligible.

They want a fix - dreamer can go back to the *non* s-holes they came from and apply like the rest of the world.

What dimwit would want a government shutdown over the weekend?

Who was paying any attention? America was watching sports.

I disagree. If we give in on that and allow specifically 800,000 dreamers only to stay here but end chain and lottery, and a wall, I think that is a great deal for everyone...a deal where everyone wins and we can get the f on with MAGA.

I have seen this posted before. How can it be true if she is being discussed as a viable candidate? Is it in question (like BHO)? I really hope she can’t run. She is very dangerous in my opinion.
