      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.

      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.

          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.

          McConnell and the @GOP have lost sight of what the U.S. democracy is all about. Legislation that requires a filibuster-free vote of 60 votes must be acceptable to at least *some* in the minority. The @GOP has lurched so far to the right that they cannot even surpass this low bar.

          Replying to @rantonstupidity @JuddLegum @GOP

          What the @GOP really wants is one-party rule so that they can run roughshod over the middle class. “We have looked into their eyes, and have seen into the depths of their soul, and it is full of evil.”

          Is it loyalty or is he so deeply compromised that he acts from fear of exposure? I think he is pure evil, personally, but his actions make me wonder about kompromat.

          Loyal only to himself, @senatemajldr knows that if Trump falls, so will he. He's a traitor, but not stupid.

          A smarter man knows Trump’s fall is inevitable and would begin to distance himself. Oh well, Mitch boy, see you in 2020.

          No, he's not because he has to get reelected in 2020 and he's scared to death of the base.

          Flip it around: Today's Trumpified @GOP, which wants authoritarian but tiny govt, actually *wants* a shutdown govt (except for DoD). P'haps, to McConnell, the Wall is a convenient excuse for a prolonged govt shutdown.

          I think even they may want CBP, TSA, Coast Guard and IRS (which is no longer issuing refunds) funded. None are.

          McConnell will either do right or do wrong.. It's going to be his problem either way..

          It's not loyalty. It's money. His wife and brother in law both have very high-power, Trump-appointed jobs.

          McConnell could care less about all the Americans impacted. Who is paying him off? He needs to be investigated
