What do you hope to see happen over the next couple of weeks in regard to Congress agreeing to a deal by Feb 8th?

Trump is “hoisted by his own petard!”  In 2013 “citizen Trump” tweeted that any government shutdown is “the fault of the president, and it wouldn’t happen” under him.  The impending political fiasco is all of the president’s own making, sparing some blame for McConnell, who refused to put a budget bill up for a vote (one, he knew would have passed).   McConnell has given his assurances that he will bring up a clean DACA bill by Feb 8th, so will he keep “his word”?  A person’s word is their bond, and should mean more to McConnell, and Trump, who had a good bipartisan deal brought to him; he said he’d sign it, then was over-ruled by Stephen Miller and John Kelly, both of whom need to go!  My hope is that the “grand deal-maker” start living up to his legend, and that he get on board with lawmakers, signing a bipartisan budget and Dreamers deal!
