It is a win
Look.
We got CHIP funded for six years. The goddamn GOP couldn't figure out for half a year how to fund CHIP. All they could do was flail around and threaten poor children with death. Then, in two days, they funded it.
Dreamers? DACA? Did not get voted on.
Yes, that vote basically got kicked down the road for another three weeks. It's entirely possible that McConnell was lying when he promised a vote. It's more than probable that the weasel Paul Ryan and other House Republicans will do all they can - which is a lot - to sabotage DACA.
But you know what? That's where we were last week. Except now we have CHIP.
In three weeks, McConnell's name is on the shutdown. And CHIP is off the table.
It's a win.
It's not everything, but we were never going to get everything. And we lost nothing.
Take it. Get ready for Round Two.
