So, just want to get this right...your savior obama said, everyone would have insurance.....yet we don't...
Do you agree obama was also a liar?
Not my savior, and he didn't promise anyone they would get free stuff. Obamacare helps people pay for their premiums... it doesn't give it to them for free.
I'm not so sure that Trump would own the next shutdown as much as the first. It looks like he has indicated he would sign a bill for whatever border security $ he could get and then look elsewhere for more. If Congress can't get it together and present him with a bill, they they pretty much own the next one.
If (and there's no reason to expect otherwise) Trump offers the same platitudes as he did during the first shutdown, why would there be any expectations he won't be blamed just as he had the first time?
Is there any evidence that a 72 year old man desperately attempting to make good on nothing more than a campaign promise will suddenly become a beacon of enlightened and collaboration for all Americans?

Trump is the only one who wants another shutdown. He could take his threat off the table. He could extend the deadline. He could tell the GOP he'll accept whatever they bring him. If he does none of those things, despite Congress's continuing attempts, yes, he will own it. And the country will absolutely put the blame squarely on him again, just like they did the last time.
Trump, and Trump alone, brought us to this point. Any shutdown going forward is all his.

I'm certainly no fan of Trump. I think that he is a lousy President. And yeah, I agree that his actions got us to where we are now.
But the ball is now in the hands of Congress. He has indicated that he may sign a bill for whatever $ they would give him. But he can't sign a bill that doesn't come to him. So if Congress can't get their act together and work out a bill, they own the next shutdown just as much as Trump does. But if they do put a bill in front of him and he decides not to sign it, then it is all his.
