I don't think the GOP'ers will go for it, trading Keystone for ACA, which will always be known as Obamacare. Besides Keystone may not be viable anymore at the prevailing crude oil prices. They can build the pipe but it may not get filled anytime soon.

Yes...but the move would make the GOP be the party not ready to govern if they refused to bargain.

How many people do you think know that within the Homeland Security funding bill, there are amendments to repeal the Dream Act? This is how it will be done, sneaky and behind the lines.

From New York Times:

Behold the Republican Immigration Strategy: Mass Deportation…It’s a new year, with a new Congress, but the same old Republican Party hard line on immigration. Harder, actually…The G.O.P. is not just seeking to undo the executive actions Mr. Obama announced last November, for young immigrants known as Dreamers and many of their parents. The party also wants to repeal earlier actions going back to 2012, protecting hundreds of thousands of Dreamers and the families of active-duty service members.

The Latino community will be well aware of it and vote accordingly. One may not always know who their friends are but enemies make things simple by declaring themselves with their policies and actions.

On the outside chance that this bill passes the senate and winds up on Obama's desk, he will veto it. Guaranteed.

Guess what the right wing will start claiming that day and for days to come. Obama is putting the country at risk by vetoing the HS funding bill and a large majority of Americans will believe this. Latino voting bloc will be a blip on the screen.

This will hand the Senate back to the Dems in '16 with a gift bow on it.

McConnell will have to endure endless taunts about his leadership term being exactly what he wished on Obama.

Hillary is still a walk in every poll.

I think he would have some trouble in Ohio given his anti-union stance....
Sending ground troops ANYWHERE for combat should be a matter of the grave reflection and discernment...this guy is dangerous on so many levels.

Well now I have seen everything, the Koch Bros now have an add on TV. Employees are saying what a great place Koch Industries is at which to work. Good thing I had not had breakfast or I would have tossed it.

Repeated often enough, people will believe them. That's the magic of TV since it can control the message/audience. Not so easy with print.

Now with the proliferation of social media, getting the message out will become a lot easier and target a specific audience. I am surprised that they are spending their money on TV and not going directly to F, T, Y etc. It's quite possible that their target audience is not wired into the tech world.
