House and Senate leaders said the deal would protect “Dreamers” and include a border security package, although there was late-night sparring over President Trump’s wall.
Some moderate Republicans congratulated Mr. Trump. But conservatives were outraged. “Trump base is blown up, destroyed,” Representative Steve King said.

Trump, top Democrats agree to work on deal to save ‘dreamers’ from deportation Sept. 13, 10:08 pm

At a dinner late Wednesday, the president and Democratic leaders in Congress agreed to work out an agreement that would protect the nation’s “dreamers” from deportation and enact border security measures that don’t include building a physical wall, according to people familiar with the meeting.

No matter what is said about deals between Trump, Schumer, and Pelosi Ryan and McConnell must sign on to get the bill on the floor to be voted on and many republicans have to vote for it to pass. The question I haven't seen anyone address is why did Ryan and McConnell bring the debt ceiling bill up for a vote. They control the agenda and decide what bills come to the floor for a vote. They could have just ignored the Trump, Schumer, Pelosi deal, never brought it up for a vote, and just brought up their own bill. What's going on in their head? Did they actually like the deal? Were they unable to bring about a republican compromise? Were they afraid to challenge Trump? How often will they allow these deals to come up for a vote? In the end Trump and the democrats can't bypass the republicans. They can't even force a vote on their deals if just two people, Ryan and McConnell, don't cooperate.
