Schumer's negotiation

In reply to Support Schumer It's easy

Schumer's negotiation strength re DACA is , in general,inversely proportionate to the time remaining until the March 5 deadline . Which Trump set.

As of ,for example , March 3 or 4, McConnell/Trump will be able to say "take it of leave it".

In addition until that vote renewing Donald's spending authority Chuck's strength is augmented by his ability to "just say no."

AND further enhanced , this particular weekend,( vis a vis e.g. ten days from now had he rolled over for a ten day temporary spending authority) among other reasons because of the potential embarrassment for Trump of being forced to deliver his State of the Union address (remember "you lie") during a shut down.

So , given this unique conjunction a shut down at any later date would have been so comparatively less powerful , it would have been an irresponsible dis service to those on Daca if Schumer had blown the opportunity.
