Shutdown over - Hopefully no agreement on DACA made.

Looks like no agreement on DACA.
This will be a black mark on the Dems who were just kowtowing to their rabid alt-left base.

This is certainly not a win for Democrats, but it is also just postponing a reckoning on DACA, which is (despite how you've characterized it) broadly supported and will ultimately be fixed. What's really at issue is the rest of the immigration pieces.
Passing the CR will fund CHIP, so I'm going to look at it as a net positive, and not through a political lens. The Senate will probably pass a compromise bill, and the onus will shift to the House for the next showdown/shutdown debate.
If you're planting the flag on DACA, prepare to be disappointed. If this Congress doesn't in enshrine it, the next one certainly will.
This shutdown is not going to help the public sentiment on DACA.
When the number comes out that its really 3.5M all of a sudden people are going to wonder what is going on here.

6 years of CHIP funding, a DACA vote promised by McConnell Feb 8.
Should the vote not materialize as promised there will be another shutdown
Am I reading this correctly ?

I mean, I get it, it's a logical position and one that I've heard many times before (including on this forum). But sometimes I wonder if people are living in some sort of parallel dimension where it's normal to pretend that the South Koreans (and, by default, the Americans) haven't already tried exactly that.
The South Korean government paid the North Koreans $100 million dollars for the infamous Kim Jong-Il (DPRK) - Kim DJ (ROK) summit in Pyongyang.
What did that meeting accomplish?
Where did that money go?
I'll give you one guess, 57.
It's worth noting that the Obama administration essentially killed off what was left of the Clinton and Bush 43-era "Sunshine Policy" that supported these kind of carrot-stick machinations, which was a necessary, if not painfully obvious diplomatic step. The problem thereafter, as I see it, is that the Obama state department left the Lee Myung-bak and Park Guen-hye administrations almost entirely to their own devices with respect to North Korea (at an integral historical moment: the 'coronation' of Dear Leader 2.0) and relations between the North and the South subsequently deteriorated to one of the lowest points in post-war history.
If there ever was a moment that the military option might have worked, it would have been 2013/2014.
But I digress.
