house are in a good position. in the senate it s totally different. it s like two midterm campaigns going on. most of the battleground in the senate are in ruby red states voting for the president voted for him by wide margins. they are happy with his policies and him. indiana, north dakota, missouri, you want to stick as close to the president as you can tleecht according to the data we have today. it s an interesting field out there. it is indeed. david, kathryn good to have you with us. daca may be in jeopardy again. how a texas judge s decision could affect undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children. you are live in the cnn newsroom. even if it s a better car class than the one you reserved. so no matter what, you re guaranteed to have a perfect drive. [laughter]
has to play. what republicans in the senate are trying to do, we have sewn that. they re trying to give a little on the at a time. they re tieing themselves to the president and taking a chance that the president that by sticking with him and by staying unified they will keep the democrats cornered and end up winning this fight. what happened, david, to the deal maker? i alone can fix this. i think the deal maker will blame the swamp. and not take responsibility for this. it s that will be the democratic talking point. i do think as time goes by, it will be difficult for democrats. trump will be blamed. the other theme from schumer is chaos. chaos in the republican side. and their inability to govern. and that i think will resonate with people. some independents who voted for trump. the tweets play into this.
by the way, at palm tomorrow, a high of 73 and won t be sunny. he may feel a little bit better about this. david, i want to ask you about this, do you think this will last for a while? i don t think so. so 2013 went on for 16 days and there is no question our politics are much more toxic now. look at what mitch mcconnell came out of the gate with. the white house statement calling democrats destruction losers and schumer coming back calling this on the shoulders of the united states. this is playing out right now. as he said trump shutdown over and over, oh, i thought it is not going well with the president. just now, once side now has to
that the president was assuring them or the white house fts assuring them a deal was not going to be struck there. they were talking about general out lines for something. still a number of questions about what happened today. and a number of questions about what was happening on the senate floor over the past few hours. what were the senators discussing. mitch mcconnell broke news a few minutes ago when he said he s going bring up a shorter k krrgs r to february 8. to try to get a sense of urgency around getting the immigration negotiations going get. and getting them finished. before that next deadline. maybe that s going to be the middle ground that we are looking for here. so some sort of assurance from republicans to democrats that short of an immigration deal during the shut down they will have one in the next few weeks. david druker, mcconnell
legislators. duri the president and the administration will fight and protect the american people. david, how does language like unlawful immigrants and holding lawful citizens hostage and obstructionist losers, is that it s like bulletin board material. less than two weeks ago the president was saying we need a bill of love. around daca and the statement just now. calling democrats obstructionist and losers. if you look at all three statements, i think that senator schumer probably scored the points or drew the first blood or whatever. crazy analogy you want to use. because he took the schumer shut down hash tag and flipped it around and called it the trump shut down. signaling to the white house that at least tonight he and his caucus were not goij to back
