Trying to pin this shutdown on Democrats just isn't going to work.
Actually, it already has worked.
1) Dems have prioritized foreign law-violators over US Citizens and LEGAL immigrants. Confirmed as a VERY unpopular position by both the CNN and Harvard Polls.
FACT: tRump is the prez, even though he didn't want to be. He's never been accountable to anyone in his entire adult life and responsibility rests heavy on a president.
FACT: the Pubs own DC lock, stock, and barrel.
FACT: the Pub congress has completely laid down and embraced tRumpism.
FACT: the "party of personal responsibility" is squirming like a bucket full of nightcrawlers trying to avoid being held accountable for their very own actions.
FACT: Trumplings voted for their ignorant slob because they wanted him to "shake up the establishment."
So, boys and girls, stop bellyaching about getting what you voted for.
Trump ran on being anti-government and Republicans backed his play.
Despite the propaganda campaign pushed by the Republicans and the Russians, Americans are well aware that Republicans ran the table the last election, and that they are anti-government.

At best, it will look like Democrats tricked Trump and the Republicans.
LOL. You're fighting an uphill battle, Democrats will lose on alliteration alone... Schumer Shutdown sings!
I'm heartbroken that three million parasites who sit behind their desks and collect a two-hundred-thousand-dollar-a-year salary, provided by tax dollars collected from the serfs, are temporarily pulled from the teat. It's a horrible thing. Hopefully their discomfort is short-lived.
PS, I don't appreciate the work that Marie Antoinette did either. Neither did the French serfs of the time.
Boy, it’s so much Horse dong in this post that I don’t know where to start. $200,000 a yr? Behind s desk? You couldn’t do my job as an engineer if you tried. My job protects my fellow citizens from natural disasters.
Wrong. Both the CNN and Harvard Polls indicate exactly the opposite. Americans blame Dems, specifically for prioritizing illegal aliens over US Citizens and LEGAL immigrants.
Still wouldn't have been enough to get to 60 votes.
I think the hope was to show that all of the Republicans were on board and it was the Democrats who held it up. But that failed when they couldn't even get their entire caucus to vote for it. If even their own members don't like it why would they think the other party's would?
Too bad the president tanked the bipartisan deal they drew up--the one he initially agreed to support, and the one that would have easily passed without a problem with well over 60 votes.
Fact: You don’t know how government works or you would know that the GOP doesn’t have 60 seats in the senate and the relevance of that.
That would mean they need to negotiate with the Dems. Not throw a take it or leave it CR on the table without Dem. input.
Not have 5 Rep. vote against it when you need 60 votes.
The POTUS wanted this shut down.
