DACA - anyone have a non-stupid prediction of what Trump will decide?

[AAAintheBeltway]

If Trump continues to cave like he did this morning on the budget battle... who is going to vote for him?

I don't see it as Trump caving. The republicans wanted to extend the debt limit for two years to get it past the midterm elections. That way, they would not have to face the threat of the debt limit being held up to force spending cuts. Ryan and McConnell got played, not Trump.

As predicted we all knew he would cave...
Did he even hold out for a promise?



If Rand Paul runs he will primary Trump. Cruz might be able to beat him too.
But now they will have to overcome a million more democrats.
Somehow I would not be surprised if 800,000 will turns 2 million.

I suspect he will cave.

I hope, at least. he trades DACA for 3 big things. lower taxes for those making less than 300 grand, obamacare repeal, and permanent long term ban on immigration until they eliminate income taxes and our standard of living rises in real terms... significantly for a decade.
If he is the deal maker he professed he will succeed.
I worry he will cave now in exchange for a promise later. Which is always a lie from establishment republicans to the tax payers who elect them.

Probably a lot more. There will instantly be pressure to amnesty the parents who brought them here. Otherwise we would be guilty of "breaking up families." It will be very compassionate to take in a lot of poor elderly mexicans and put them on medicare since it has plenty of money.

If I hear "you'll be taking them from the only family they've ever known" again.....


..here they were coming into the US, after having left their families behind....the only family they'd ever known....
