to $3 billion, protections for tps and dreamer populations. that is the easy way out. the president also toying with an idea of an emergency declaration. i think it is a nonstarter, diverting moneys to take care of our service members and their troops and their families for vital housing, education needs, infrastructure needs or taking it from the natural disasters is also a nonstarter. so over/under, i'm not optimistic. if congress is able to negotiate this, they can do it. the problem is the president gets in the way. >> i'm reminded of an onion headline. eldest dead, is he alive? we are back to where we were in terms of negotiating positions here. i'm wondering if you are concerned because a poll shows the danger for democrats.
