Wasnt on board? >> i dont know. i think i have never run a political cam pain so im just responding as someone has read a lot of history. it seems the democrats are in danger of pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. whats. happened here is they got the senate, they got the majority leader of the senate to say hes going to introduce legislation on daca, which is a promise he hadnt made before. americans, i think, look for people to be reasonable. i think most of us. want people to be reasona...

That the leadership of at least of the senate and the white house are committed to resolving the daca problem. now it may not happen. what could be the solution is that donald trump could issue an executive order and delay the impending end of the daca program through the election and let the american people in november decide what they want. were a democracy. lets fight it out the way we should in a democracy. make it part of the election in 2018. but take -- what we have is hanging over the da...

Government wont be paid. but it doesnt look given b what were hearing thats what hes going to do. he could do it. think of all those votes on obamacare that everybody knew we are going to fail but were being done for theater. it looks like theres been movement. now if theres movement, it means the democrats are satisfied, enough of them and their leadership, are satisfyie that the movement reflects the fact that the executive branch and the hard liners in congress are willing to give daca a chan...

Cornyn, who also is expressing some optimism. he said u schumer wants to give people a chance to chew on it. thats why he didnt want to have a vote tonight. its better to have a successful vote tomorrow at noon than a failed vote tonight. ron? >> cornyn was one of the most pessimi pessimist, so the shift in tone is noteworthy. you have to be realistic about what you can achieve through it. it is i dont think -- i think the evidence is clear. a shutdown cannot make a president do something he doe...

Its going to budge on these issues. even though the government there are still a lot of lawmakers that are willing to take a stand if it means not giving on these issues that they care about. youre going to see a conversation about the practically. no way to put a bill on the floor tomorrow thats going to solve the daca crisis. so what is the next stage. what are democrats willing to accept to get this it bill passed and get the government back open. >> thats a big question. thank you very much....

Clean budget bill and an agreement on daca. i do agree with tim, that democrats risk getting out over their skis, yes, at some point they have to climb down from this position, but just two days into a shutdown with very little being offered by republicans, it seems to me that democrats have to play this out a little bit more. not taking sides on the issues, but just to see how much leverage they actually have. >> guys, let me read you what were getting now from a top democratic aid who says, th...

Attention. now if the president and the congressional leadership come back and give real assurances that the daca problem will be looked at and resolved, because everybody agree it is should be resolved. then you can see that the minority party and allies like graham and flake will be able to say lets go forward. but what leverage do they have. the dead line is is an artificial dead line. president trump decided in september to remove the daca protections. then said to the senate and the house y...

Short. they did pick up at least one key vote. jeff flake as well as lindsey graham, those are two members that voted against the last version. so they are a little bit closer, but they are r still not at that key 60-vote threshold because of chuck schumers objection to mitch mcconnells proposal tonight. its interesting to hear what mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer were saying. rae mcconnell is making it clear he want was willing to move on these issues that schumer has been demanding. disaster...
