USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page gives her take on the day's national political news -- including reactions to the school shooting in Parkland, Florida; immigration deals in the Senate that flamed out; and more on Trump's lawyer's payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

@SusanPage points out that one reason it's hard to get anything done on this is the people who turn out to vote are the people who want to protect 2nd Amendment rights at all costs.

@SusanPage: It's so perplexing to Americans that Congress can't seem to do *anything* on gun control. Even seemingly minor things like banning bump stocks.

On immigration deal that would have protected Dreamers w/money for his wall, @SusanPage says it fell apart because President Trump actively opposed it. Says if *that* couldn't pass, it's really not looking good for Dreamers any time soon.
