>> shepard: what do you think will happen? >> i think it depends on the democrats again. really is up to them. if they walk it back and they say its true, senator mcconnell, the majority leader gave us his assurance that they will move on to a fix for the dreamers so were going to vote for this funding bill in good faith because we know he wants to pass a fix, its on the republicans lap. if they shut it down, theyll pay a steep price. if the president wants to fix the dreamers, he in the end mig...

Showed up at the white house with this apparent deal for the president that didnt look anything like they discussed at that lovely bipartisan event. space and it a lot like they discussed. i think you could get a bill that passes the senate and the house where you lose the freedom caucus but you get democrats. >> katie: yesterday, chuck schumer as soon as he was announcing that he was reopening the government weeded out a warning to republicans and said you have 17 days to come up with a daca fi...

Where trump won. for instance, heidi heitkamp in north dakota. if she has to vote to keep this open, if she doesnt, it could jeopardize her re-elect. so i think the other thing is, democrats are making -- saying the reason they didnt vote for this bill is simply because they want illegal immigrants to have legal status, and thats contradictory to republicans in trumps america first message. >> dave, same question to you. who stands the most to lose here as this continues? >> well, i think the po...

Due respect is not exactly simpatico with the white house. here is a guy who is being forced out to being forced to essentially retire because the republican base has rejected him, and he went to war with president trump earlier. i dont think he is actually on the short list. but the white house i think has been actually fairly consistent. they want to make a deal on daca. but the devil is in the details. they just dont want to give away the ship. they want to end chain migration and they want f...
