Democrats for being hypocrites and trying to attach a DACA bill to funding the government (the GOP tried this with their own policy and failed miserably in 2013), and Republicans for rejecting the bipartisan agreement in the first place. In the end though, I suspect the Democrats were hurt more than the Republicans as a whole (GOP during better in generic ballot, but Trump's approvals lowered slightly). |
This happened because Trump torpedoed the first bipartisan plan before attempting to torpedo the GOP plan which actually made it through. This didn't have to happen. He asked congress to come up with a plan, they did, and then he shot it down. Trump made it so that Republicans couldn't work out a deal with the dems.
