get an up or down vote on a bipartisan DACA bill APPROVED BY HIM, SCHUMER. Did anyone hear that when McConnell spoke? This is first I've heard of this version.

(51,672 posts)He said that we need to focus our energy on getting 4 or 5 GOP senators to vote for the Dreamers. Rachael isn't buying it. She said the GOP are acting like they won the battle and it is over. Schumer said he thinks that the public will be angry enough when they see all the deportations in March that the GOP will have to cave. I do NOT see that happening. He also said that he believes McConnell's promise to take a vote (what the fuck...who believes McConnell, EVER?). He said he will "hold his feet to the fire" if he doesn't. Oh my, I am sure the turtle is in his shell frightened.
He told the Dreamers today that he believes at least now they have a chance. I want to know who the 4 or 5 GOP senators are that the resisters, activists and Dems need to target to get them to flip in the next two weeks. I will call them...no problem. However I am with Rachael and am extremely skeptical of any success in the next few weeks.
Who knows who these "flip-able" GOP senators are so I can call them?
