Don’t look now, but House and Senate Democrats have been on a massive winning streak for the last several months. Democrats won the initial government shutdown and pushed healthcare to the top of the national priorities list, a victory that still haunts Republicans.
Democrats pulled off a second victory when they got Republicans to pass four out of five funding bills, but carved out the Department of Homeland Security, which houses ICE.
Why Republicans would have ever agreed to this was bizarre, because from the moment that they agreed to the two-week CR, they put themselves in a box.
Much like the healthcare standoff that is still ongoing beneath the surface, Democrats have not yielded in their demands for what they require in order to provide the necessary votes so that the Department of Homeland Security can be funded.
