Trump is offering a deal to end the shutdown - an extension for DACA in exchange for money for the wall. Frankly, it's a deal that should have been made a long time ago. I don't know what Pelosi et al will do, but my gut tells me this is a winner for Trump. The Democrats would be hard pressed to turn it down.

And that's a shame. I kinda liked that partial shutdown. I would rather Trump had added, "And if you don't accept this deal, I'm going to lay off all those furloughed employees." But he didn't. Maybe next time.
