He and Paul Ryan and others see this has the moment when they can use this issue as a smokescreen to overturn the 60 vote filibuster rule and in so doing get rid of all the Social safety net and new Deal era programs they hate. If Mitch does it they would then move on to privatizing SSI, Medicare, and many other programs they want to gut. The DACA and wall are just excuses to get rid of the rule. They might do it, but I doubt it. McConnel knows if they do and then try and do all the other stuff it will build the coming D wave even higher. Trump doesn't care because he doesn't intend to allow free and fair elections this fall to take place.
