Don't worry the old Dem leadership will let the DHS funding go full blast as soon as the next outrageous moment from Trump distracts Americans.

Leave it to Schumer to do Trump's bidding, then only to turn around and call it the people's demands. What a loser

Am I to understand that the democrats, once again,, basically eliminated the little bit of leverage that they currently have instead of trying to use it to push the administration? Why would I ever want to vote for these assholes?

Democrats are going to struggle in the mid-terms. Mark my words.
