“The big thing that a lot of people are missing about yesterday’s meeting, the big thing is that for a year now Democrats have refused to negotiate, refused to come to the table. And we can argue about whether they’ve been invited to the table or not. But they’ve refused to participate in any of this legislation.
What Donald Trump did yesterday, in that optic way that he is very good at, is he sat them down at the table and began negotiations on immigration and dealing with DACA.
If at the end of the day they refuse to go along with the DACA legalization thing because it contains a wall element or because it contains an end to chain migration, he made it very clear. He’s going to campaign against them on those issues and he feels very confident that he’ll win on those issues. And that to me is the most important thing out of that.
I think that puts real pressure on Democrats to actually, sort of, try to figure out ways they can give.”
