        But they still need 60 votes in the Senate and there aren't that many Rs in the Senate.

        How does ANYONE blame the party not controlling the government for a government shutdown? Right out of Putin's play book. #TrumpShutdown

        Because the GOP have only 51 votes and it takes 60 to pass it. Russia has nothing to do with this one sweetheart!! #release the memo

        In case you forgot @SenatorDurbin it takes 60 votes. What the heck does being the minority have to do with this. Democrats still should have voted for the budget bill. Democrats own this #SchumerShutdown

        Pathetic excuse, that may be technically true but it’s Democrat votes holding everything up. Meanwhile pelosi is taking the gram out to a fancy dinner while the military isn’t getting paid. Disgusting you should be ashamed of yourselves
