        Actually Democrats comprise Congress to you know. It's not all on the GOP.

        ...and can’t pass a bill without democratic support. Government shutdowns historically reflect very poorly on the minority holders.

        You do know that bills need to pass the house and senate, right?

        Oh sure. And Lindsey Graham, GOP Senator, and Dick Durban, Democratic Senator, had worked out a negotiation on DACA. Initially, Trump agreed with this proposal, then changed his mind. So the President, not the GOP or Democrats, will be responsible if the Government shuts down.

        Nope, you’re wrong. Democrats are demanding the budget be tied to the DACA resolution when they aren’t related at all. This is the Democrats stonewalling, trying get a DACA bill, and they are willing to shut the government down over it.

        And DACA would have been solved until Trump changed his mind on the agreement between Graham and Durban. Had Trump not changed his mind no would be no threat of a government shutdown.

        With a government shutdown I would suggest a very high alert for russian attack on secure computer systems.

        trump has threatened a government shutdown for a very long time. thinking he now has an excuse is NOT working. He could just as easily say the U.S. Government shut down because the sun rises in the east.
