I think we lost a lot of leverage there and McConnell has 8 days to pork up that bill in ways to woo the dissenting 12 back to the dark side. The eternal pessimist :(

3 days ago CHIP was on the table being used as a bargaining chip (ironic, I know)

In a couple of weeks it will not be... and DACA will.

CHIP is funded for 6 more years. Hopefully half or more of the Trump crime family will be in prison by then. (Hopefully in New York where they can't be pardoned by the boss.)

So let Drumph and McConnell spike the ball. They won exactly 3 weeks of reprieve. Their fans may be stupid. BLOTUS clearly is, but the plenty of them know they're whistling past the graveyard.
