House and senate side and they say look weve done something. something is out there for democrats to consider. its time for them to consider that. democrats theyve made very clear this isnt about the four week resolution, this isnt about shortening that from four weeks to three weeks. they want some type of firm commitment on the daca issue that will get them to a resolution. there is a trust deficit on the democratic side and that is driving their position at this point. as to this partisan tal...

Week resolution, this isnt about shortening that from four weeks to three weeks. they want some type of firm commitment on the daca issue that will get them to a resolution. there is a trust deficit on the democratic side and that is driving their position at this point. as to this partisan talking points, if you want a flavor of them, take a listen to what senate democratic leader chuck schumer had to say on the floor. >> negotiating with president trump is like negotiating with jell-o. thats w...

>> how come the, he isnt a bad person, he doesnt tell honestly. the republicans had time 10 years to deal with immigration, they refuse to vote. a majority of republicans to vote for something. now acting like a innocent lamb here, he could have voted on the docket any time he wanted to. we have been begging him to. there are bipartisan bills he wont let come to the floor. >> is that honest? >> crazies out there. talking about cantaloupes and wide legs and people coming up here, and stuff they t...

Correspondents. >> how do we shorthand this to a personal with a casual interest as to whether or not the government shuts down for a couple of days, is it that democrats want to protect immigrants who came here because their parents brought them as young children, to avoid prosecution. the republicans want the democrats to pay a high praise, if any price is high enough to let that happen. >> well, chris, that is a fair description. the bottom line is democrats are fed up. they dont feel they ar...

Road decision. >> i think its because were so partisan and theres not a lot of conversation between both sides of the aisle. >> isnt that the presidents job? >> he said it was his job a year ago. he said he wanted to be a great uniter and were not seeing that right now. when you talk about what some lawmakers want along the border depending on what party theyre in, theyre not thinking about the most moderate approach. theyre thinking about their bases. >> he said a couple years ago, 2013, he sai...

Who are more than willing to spend millions to reinforce the border and to do more along those lines. but i think if the idea is that the president is then going to be able to go out and make a sales pitch, and the president has alluded to this, at some point hes going to tour the prototypes of the wall being constructed, et cetera. think its untenable for democrats to be in that kind of a position. its going to put chuck shumer in a little bit of a bind potentially. because he has a very fine l...

Even expand their senate majority because you just went through some of those numbers. there are some states where donald trump is still very popular that he won overwhelmingly in 2016 where there are democrats representing those states in the state who consistently salute chuck shumer. claire mchaskill, heidi highcamp, joe donnelly, joe manchin. the list goes on. so i think the house, im not saying that its gone. theres a long way to go between now and then and things can change dramatically in...

Dreamers issue, is not going to be at the end of your spending bill. i think thats significant. >> that is significant. paul ryan saying it is going to be separate. chuck shumer was on the floor this morning saying they are negotiating with republicans to pass daca and have increased border security. now, what that looks like and whether they call it a wall, i dont know. the fact that they are even talking that theres negotiation before the end of the year in a separate bill is significant. >> d...

Chuck shumer, senator from new york and minority leader, said the treasury is using fake math and that basically it is going to blow up the deficit and generate almost no economic activity to make up for it. i dont know if thats just a partisan argument, but where do you stand on the treasury analysis? >> certainly not the case that theres going to be no additional economic activity coming from this tax bill. all the nonpartisan analysts agree this tax bill will boost growth. youre going to see ...
