Just goes to show who the Dems care about. Forget about the current citizens in need (soldiers, vets, homeless), we gotta get non-citizens in through DACA so they can vote Dem.

Would have been more effective if Dems hasn’t crossed over to vote with Rs and some Rs hadn’t no. The but we need Dems to cooperate point is moot if they have 51seats, and can’t even get 50 votes. This would have failed even a simple majority vote in the Senate, which are control.

Yup. He held it hostage to try and get his way.

McConnell also could have had a clean vote on the Dreamers as well. But didn't. Again, he held the budget hostage.
