    "There will not be another government shutdown. You can count on that. Shutting down the government, in my view, is not conservative policy. I don’t think a two-week paid vacation for federal employees is conservative policy.” -- Mitch McConnell, Oct 2013

    Trump asked directly to address the hundreds of thousands of government workers who aren’t getting paid. He ignores the questions. Goes on a rant about impeachment.

    Trump, according to Schumer, threatened to keep the gov't closed for years unless he gets his wall. Hundreds of thousands of government employees are not getting paid. Trump, who has never had to live paycheck-to-paycheck, is oblivious to the cruelty

    1. The shutdown is billed as a battle of wills between Schumer/Pelosi & Trump. This is the wrong way to look at it. Schumer/Pelosi don’t want to fund the wall but even if they did, they would be hard pressed to corral the necessary Democratic votes. This is all about McConnell.

    3. But there are already a couple of Republican Senators urging McConnell to pass a bill without the $5 billion in wall funding. McConnell just has to decide how long he wants this to last.

    2. Anything that comes out of the Senate has to be bipartisan. The Senate unanimously passed a funding bill without wall funding a few days ago. McConnell could do it again. He’s not because his loyalty to Trump is stronger than any pressure he feels to end the shutdown.

    1. It's really only possible to be encouraged by Romney's op-ed if you ignore everything he's said and done over the last 7 years. Let's review.

    Pelosi is absolutely right about this — the guidance has has never been tested in court and is not based on any statute or precedent

    15. Defending his 2012 embrace of Trump, Romney said the birther conspiracy is NOT racist. It wasn't "xenophobic or racist or misogynist. It wasn't bigoted," he said in a 2012 interview. Romney is not the one you've been waiting for.

    14. Now that Romney is joining the U.S. Senate he is recasting himself as a Trump critic. He said he will call Trump out when he is racist. What does Romney consider racist?
