Chris Coons: Yesterday We Saw a President Who Was Really Trying To Be and Sound Reasonable on DACA

‘I think there are millions of Americans who voted for President Trump, thinking they were getting a businessman who knew how to bring people together, to cut big deals and to sort of get through some of the divisions of Washington’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "So -- to bes positive. I think there are millions of Americans who voted for President Trump, thinking that they were getting a businessman who knew how to bring people together, to cut big deals and to sort of get through some of the divisions of Washington. That’s not the president we’ve seen last year. But for a variety of reasons, he has realized that that’s the president he needs to be in order to be successful as president and in order for the Republican Party to survive the 2018 elections. So, what I thought we saw yesterday in that meeting, both in the visuals and in the conversation, was a president really trying to be and sound reasonable on a compromise around the DREAMers, on DACA."
