Ridiculous that you could say Republicans have control when it takes 60 votes to pass! Republicans only have 50 with McCain out for health reasons!

McCain is a Republican in sheeps clothing. Everyone knows that the only reason he's a republican is because he would not get any attention if he was a Democrat. CNN's puppet on a string etc... It gets to the point that it makes one ill....

Schumer is full of crap. It is the job of all in Congress to keep gov't open. GOP does not control Congress. While it does have a simple majority, it does not have a majority of votes to be in control. GOP did it's job, Dems failed to do theirs, favoring DACA over Americans.
-
The gop need to learn how to compromise.its that simple. They are not the only one's representing American.
-
They did compromise, they had a six year CHIP extension in this bill. Democrats are merely grandstanding & showboating for no good reason. They really stepped in it politically and the voters will make them pay in 2018.
-
Republicans let CHIP expire months ago. They used it as leverage in this bill. If they had voted on it in a clean bill when Democrats were desperately asking them to do so, millions of children would still have health care. To blame this on Democrats is psychological projection.
-
But yet the Republicans are willing to pay for Chip for six years. That’s the longest “free” program to ever be passed! But it’s the Republicans fault right? GTHOH

-
It’s everyone’s fault they couldn’t come to a compromise, actually. But when you’re the party in power who controls House, Senate, & presidency, you hold more of the blame by default. Leadership means accepting responsibility for the failures of your country while you’re in power
-
Compromise on what exactly Claude? This is a vote to fund the govt plain and simple. To do so takes more than simple majority. What specific item are you referrimg to that wemt uncompromised?
-
Oh a simple funding bill, huh? Just like the simple tax bill had health care elements implemented in it & a myriad of other special interests. None of these bills rammed through Congress have been clean, so why should this one be? Only when Republicans want a simple funding bill.

Chip should never be used to bargain with, should have been funded months ago as a stand alone bill. The gop are using America children and pregnant women to bargain with. The dems are doing what they have to do! Trump is responsible for this shutdown, he wanted it

Chip should be a stand alone bill!!!

So can daca. Dems are trying to expand daca and asked for a 60 billion union bailout. Each should be a stand alone bill
