I’m concerned as well. The list of Democratic attendees there includes three Cavers, and a number that seem likely to be Cave-curious.
Seems possible that this group was looking for some kind of “third way.” Maybe a one week CR, with promises to work on a DACA deal in the meantime, something like that.
The problem is, THIS is the moment of maximum leverage for Dems. Trump’s one-year anniversary, which he wants to spend doing a victory lap, not presiding over a Shutdown, is THIS weekend, not next weekend.
