3. Yeah, maybe. Maybe not so many things, since I can't see them agreeing..

I can't see them agreeing to THAT many things. The Republicans simply won't go for Medicare @ 58. They won't.

The Dems are more likely to bend, I think. More likely to compromise. If they compromise too much, they'll lose THEIR base.

That's why I thought it might be just two issues...the tax cuts are the #1 thing the Republicans want. The reason they kiss Trump's a__. They might just give DACA to the Dems, in exhange for the Holy Grail (money in the form of tax cuts). Esp since some Republicans are okay with the Dream bill, anyway.

They all might agree to limit the Presidential pardon power, but if that's not done this year, it may be too late to help with the Trump issue. Looks like Trump may be issuing pardons by the end of this year.
