Yuge win for sanity. The nuts at Brietbart or Infowars or Hannity or Limbaugh or even many at Slate won't be pleased, but government reopens and Dreamers will not be deported, it appears.
Moderate Democrats and Republicans win. Big win for the DEEEEEEEP STATE.

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
It was a huge win for moderates. Problem is, democrats have so few of them lol.
Democrats lost on it because the optics were absolutely horrid: it’s never a good political move to put illegals ahead of the military. And when word got out that democrats were putting illegals ahead of even CHIPS[!!], the political burden became too much for Schumer and the democrats.
As I pointed out yesterday, the longer the shutdown dragged on the more opportunity voters were going to have to get familiar with the ugly little details of our current immigration policy. Or is it lack of one?
That’s always been the real story: it’s not who gets blamed for the shutdown—-it’s the respective motivation of the opposing sides.
Why do democrats put illegals ahead of CHIPS, btw?
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
a win for the US would be a deal . Immigration reform/wall in return for DACA..
It was indeed a big win for moderates...and it has a significant side benefit. We learned how much better our government functions if the Republicans are able to keep Donald Trump muzzled.
My guess, however, is that buffoon in the Oval Office doesn't realize how he helps best...by not helping.
