The Schumer Shut Down completely destroyed whatever momentum the Democrats thought they might have had after big wins in Virginia and Alabama. All that Democrat mojo went out the window with the Schumer shut down where Democrats demanded DACA illegal aliens be given amnesty in order to fund the government. Schumer eventually caved as people grew more and more fed up with Democrats putting illegal aliens over American citizens. The next budget deal is coming up in early February and already Democrats have caved on requiring amnesty for DACA third world illegals.

Senate Democrats are willing to drop their demand that relief for Dreamers be tied to any long-term budget agreement — a potential boost for spending talks, but which could face opposition from their House counterparts.
The shift comes in response to the deal struck between Senate leaders Monday to reopen the government and begin debate on an immigration bill next month. Meanwhile, budget negotiators are expressing optimism that a two-year agreement to lift stiff caps on defense and domestic spending is increasingly within reach.
“We’re viewing [immigration and spending] on separate terms because they are on separate paths,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s “procedural concession means we’ve got a deadline and a process,” Durbin added. “That to me is a significant step forward. It’s not everything I wanted, that’s for sure, but it’s a step forward.”
