This is not about ideology alone. Certainly if in NH, Sen Jean Shaheen nearly lost a pretty safe seat over THIS ISSUE, and the Dems lost a SOLID, LARGE, majority in the senate, this nation feels strongly a secure border, and SOME KIND OF PLAN to deal with the CRIMINALS (ipso facto) who have come here is compulsory.
We are NOT going to deport 8-11 million people, the vast majority of whom abide our laws EXCEPT ONE, the one they broke coming here. We are NOT going to do nothing about them being here, and we NEED a secure border FIRST before we can have a rational discussion about a plan BECAUSE the people have lost trust and faith in the federal govt to keep the border in previous attempts to deal with this.
So this nation DISLIKES, by virtue of national election, what Obama has arrogated to his desk.
However the loyalty of 40+ D’s in the Senate to Obama, the fear of party reprisal, and the lure of future legal (and per force) illegal D votes make a Senate approval of a House Bill (by Constitutional law it HAS to come from the House) to strip funding from Obama’s amnesty program for illegal aliens CANNOT BE PASSED.
So either kill the 60 vote debate cloture rule and vote a bill with a 54 vote majority (and probably not ONE D) or pass a clean bill.
The Dems did this (the nuclear option) in the last congress and have set a road I warned then they would rue. Now here we are.
We have a thin lipped, old white guy with ZERO public persona and no emotional connection to the people in the Senate explaining nothing to the people (and he IS the de facto operational leader), and Mr. Teary Tan in the House, herding cats many of whom have no faith in him for his own lack of resolve, ideologically speaking.
Why have both of these men not sat together FIRST, and come out together and said, HERE is where the flag is stuck into the ground on this issue, and we are prepared to stand by it on this hill?
Unless it;s not that important to them, or they never had that meeting, or they are the wrong people.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
But either way, either lead to a law and use the nuclear option leaving it to Obama to kill the DHS budget with a veto for his new program (which nhas NOTHING to do with Homeland Security), or PASS A CLEAN BILL.

Otherwise what you are doing is building a D landslide for 2016.
