There is very serious concern rippling through the House Republican Conference that they are about to get hosed by the president and Chuck Schumer.

House Republicans should be flipping out right now, because Schumer does better with Trump than Ryan, McConnell, and the rest of his own party. House Republicans better get ready because if Trump cuts a deal with Sen. Schumer, it will almost certainly include DACA and giving the Democrats everything that they want.
The question is whether or not a Schumer/Trump deal could make it through the House. It is possible that shutdown script could flip, and House Republicans could shut down the government if they don’t like the deal.
Given the ease with which Trump can be swayed, Republicans have every right to be nervous about Chuck Schumer cutting a deal with their president.
