The WaPo has the usual "Democrats in Disarray" article that practically write themselves at this point. The endless relitigating of the 2016 primary, the differing visions of what the Democratic Party should stand for, hell, even Nancy Pelosi gets bashed a bit. Pelosi has been - without a doubt - the best and most efficient Speaker of the House in decades. She isn't who you want in front of the cameras - I guess Paul Ryan is, for reasons I can't explain - but she's an absolute pro at delivering her caucus. Hell, even Gutierrez voted for the three month extension yesterday. All the whinging would-be insurrectionists voted for it, even as they carped to the cameras and the Bernie Bros.
As for whether getting Trump to sign a DREAM Act constitutes a win for Democrats or a win for Trump...I mean, how about a win for three-quarter of a million young people? As for who will get credit for it, whatever credit Trump gets from the center, he loses from the racist Right.
Legislate. Govern. That's your job. Don't echo the Republican legislative absolutism.
