Looks like Trump didn’t abandon the base after all... He has shown the democrats don’t want to solve immigration. That’s why the generic ballot is starting to go our way.

Good! Amnesty instead of a wall just isn’t going to cut it. I don’t GAS if it “delays” whitey from becoming a minority.

Worth repeating...

Did you notice how McConnell wasn’t clapping during the SOTU when the camera was on him and Trump mentioned ending chain migration?

Depends on how you define hope. If your hope is the Grassley plan will now pass, that has even less chance of getting 60 votes. If your hope is for no immigration plan being passed then I'd say your odds are pretty good.

McTurtle needs to be replaced. That said, there are still too many deep staters in the caucus.

What’s ‘centrist’ about the suspension or abandonment of the law?

If Congressmen believe erasing or ignoring the law leads to fairness, compassion, economic stimulus, etc. then I submit that ignoring laws against bank robbery and car theft will quickly produce more economic stimulus than they can imagine.

They are pathetic. One party wants an army of new breeding and voting stock. The other hopes that if they pretend to be nice guys the breeding and voting stock will cast 5% of their votes for them.

I've gotten oddly hooked on watching the US Senate in session on CSPAN. It's less exciting than watching paint dry. Their goal seems to be to accomplish nothing that doesn't line the pockets of their paymasters. The dems have one goal....to make President Trump look bad. NONE of the dems stand up to the lock step demands of Shummer. The pubs are not all loyal to the voters and give in to the dems as much as they can get away with.

There's only one rational answer. Let DACA expire. Other part of the solution. How about some backbone from leadership? Take away important assignment from 'pubs who are traitors to their voters.

Beyond disgusted.

“Centrist”.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

If The Hill provided VARIDESKs for their reporters, they could all be stand-up comedians.
LOL!

SEND ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BACK TO THE COUNTRIES OF WHICH THEY ARE CITIZENS.
FROM THERE, THEY CAN APPLY FOR LEGAL IMMIGRATION (JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE).

Isn’t it interesting how Democrats don’t want outsiders to classify them but use terms such as: progressives, centrists, ect. for themselves but yet conservatives say: we’re conservative with no categories.

Thanks Innovative. The Obama administration used a variety of different illegal activities as part of the DNC's ongoing campaign to destroy the Constitution and implement a single party state -- and all these "bipartisan" a-holes can thing or talk about is the illegal alien amnesty!
