It would require some senators to grow spines.

Congressional Dems hold as much power to reopen the government as Trump does
The “power” to reopen the government at this point consists of surrendering to the President, or the President to surrender to the congressional Democrats...or at least to be seen as surrendering. Dems are finally, playing Trump’s game by Trump’s rules.

Hahaha - Trump has had it easy up until last week...he'll start to see "trying conditions" from here on out and will quickly implode.

It's called compromise.

Might come as a surprise to you, but that is how government works.

Just give us Americans the wall and border security that we want and be done with it. It's so disingenuous of the democrats who were for the wall before they were against the wall. Even the Ayatollah Obama was for the wall.
