Why I think the Democrats played this pretty well
1. All this does is push things back 3 weeks. The shutdown option is there again.
2. CHIP is now off the table, and the GOP can not hold 9 million kids hostage again in 3 weeks. The GOP has lost a bargaining chip for February 8th. CHIP has been extended for 6 years.
3. There is a very vocal commitment from McConnell for a DACA bill on the floor by February 8th. If it doesn't happen, the shutdown that occurs at that time gives the Dems all the leverage. And it will give the Dems all the commercials they need to run for '18 if McConnell reneges.
What did the Dems lose today? 3 weeks. That's all.
What did the Dems gain today? CHIP off the table, 9 million kids get their health insurance. A vocal, with much fanfare, commitment from McConnell for a DACA vote by February 8th.
Because it was just a CR that lasts 3 weeks.... the GOP has LESS leverage than they had before.

That explains the high pitched whine I've been hearing.
No,wait. It could be the DUmmies whining. Could be both. Hard to tell because of the volume.

Liberals livid after deal to end shutdown
Activist groups were angry at how the negotiations turned out, with some calling it '#SchumerSellout.'
Liberal activists are furious with Democratic senators after most of them agreed to reopen the federal government without a firm path to shielding young immigrants from deportation.
As the third day of the shutdown dawned, liberal advocates and immigration groups fired off a joint statement blasting as "unacceptable" Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) offer to merely hold a vote on immigration — with no promises for action from the House or White House — in exchange for Democratic votes to reopen the government. But three hours later, Democratic senators agreed to just those terms — sparking anger on the left.

You think the dems played it well because the media told you that and you are incapable of thinking for yourself.
-
yea, it was "played pretty well" alright.
all that drama, the DNC lost some serious political coin, half the country wants them to hang, and they signed the same damn bill that was presented to them last week.
smooth move Schoomey

Heck of a job Schmucko.

Liberals/media/DUmmies were so completely b*tch slapped by Trump that they are desperately searching for the appropriate talking points. Probably by Noon tomorrow they will have settled on their official talking points.
Doesn't matter, they lost the narrative this time. Suck it.

I keep waiting for the DUmmies to realize that the disgraced former Senator Franken would not have caved unlike his replacement. :-)

I am sure that an attempt to do it again in 3 weeks is a non-starter. Assuming the (d)s don't agree to anything less than amnesty and open borders (a pretty good bet), the (R)s can frame this up BEFORE it happens to ensure (d)s get the blame -- which is what they should have done last week.
