They're trying to make Trump look like he's compromising with Dems in order to paint Dems as obstructionists. In fact, the ridiculous immigration "deal" (DACA kids for EVERYTHING ELSE) the Trumpies are floating is DOA in any Senate vote. This is a half-assed strategy to make Trump appear moderate relative to some imagined right wing and make the Dems seem obstructionist is nothging but the Rs panicking about 2018. Hold the line.
