[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the link to the cloture video thread. Listen carefully, to all of it, not just the immigration part. As I said before, start around 1:08, and hang in there until at least 1:50.

Yes, he said what he said.  But try reading all the news coverage of the issue.  There were lots of talks off camera.  The coverage makes clear that McConnell promised a lot more than what was said on camera, because he knows Trump and the hard-liners will look to criticize what he said on camera.  The Dems would not have backed down based on just the vague words he said on camera.  The gist of his promise is to give a true and fair DACA vote.  If he just loads up the DACA vote with a bunch of poison pills about wall funding, then he's breaking the spirit of their agreement.[/quote]

His words were not exactly vague. He listed a number of items that are of fundamental interest to senators from many states, red or blue. Participants on this forum can spend countless hours trying to piece together everything what has or has not been promised. The point is he promised nothing. He expressed an intention. That was it.
