      Chuck Schumer woke up at some point and decided that he's a principled opponent of border barrier, despite having voted in the past to fund such barriers. Trump's idiotic political strategy is primarily to "blame," but that doesn't mean Dems' incoherence is irrelevant.

          My memory isn't what it used to be, but I believe that Mitch is still Senate Majority Leader, correct? But somehow this is Chuck's fault?

          Schumer didn't, the Democratic base and the political dynamics of it did (in part b/c of negative polarization to Trump). So he has no incentive to fund Trump's signature campaign promise. Even so, Dems have still conceded to billions in "border security" funds in recent budgets.

          The Dem position is not incoherent. It's that they're not going to fund Trump's signature border wall, at least not without major, substantive concessions on immigration (like a path to citizenship, full Dream Act, etc.), as they'd offered, then had Trump twice reject, last year.

          Trump shut down the government, holding it hostage in exchange for his monument to bigotry. One party repeatedly voted to reopen the government with no strings attached. The other is GOP. This one really is that simple and clear cut.

          Trump has given multiple offers and dems are playing games. Pelosi and Schumer own this shutdown and until they stop being puppets of the cartels, it will continue. They put the interests of the cartel and illegal aliens over Americans.

          Political positioning changes as circumstances and the social meaning of certain policies change. Most importantly: Trump's wall ≠ Previous barrier proposals, either in concrete or symbolic terms.

          Trump's the only one proposing ideas, compromise and negotiations. That's not exactly primarily a blame strategy.

          Maybe the Mexicans have kompromat on Chuck Schumer? He has traveled to Mexico on occasions. Underaged rent boys? Drugs? Supremacy? Who knows.
