McConnell won't let anything through unless it has the money Trump wants. Trump and McConnell own the shutdown.

No, you should ponder why Obama didn't get his way when he had a majority in the house and senate. He wanted amnesty for illegals and didn't get it.

Think about it a while. You should be able to figure it all out. And once you figure it out, let us know.

BTW, I am staying on topic. Obama faced a similar situation. Why does that make you squirm?

What about Obama? What about Clinton? What about Warren G. Harding?

What about staying on topic?

Is that even possible?

McConnell won't let anything through unless it has Trump's wall money. He doesn't care that people aren't getting paid.
