So (the ques is) who will the most people blame?

You really don't seem to understand. All the Democrats have to do is play the clip of Trump saying:
"I will take the mantle of shutting it down" and, "I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it."

...over and over.

I hope they shut it down until Trump's reelection.

Is it possible that Trump will make them bend the knee and pass the Funding Bill?


yes but only after a few weeks, once they see all the polls going against them they will cave just like they did with the last shut down.

but it will be mid january before the dimwits realize trump is serious and they are fricked, then they will try to bargain a small concession first before finally passing the current bill

To Wildtchoupitoulas, Anyone supporting Nancy Pelosi has to be questioned for their sanity? Most of her own party sees this and she's an embarrassment to them! She's a senile witch that can barely formulate a complete sentence and when she does it rarely makes since. Do some research and you will see her hypocrisy is amazing and is downright laughable! On second thought, keep her around so we can continue to be entertained by her dim-witted comments/opinions!

I don't think I have ever seen the Dems cave on a issue. Is it possible that Trump will make them bend the knee and pass the Funding Bill? Does anyone remember the last time the Dems gave in to a Republican? This could be a truly historic occasion!


They won't. Give them credit where it's due - they may be loony, but unlike the Republicans, they do stay in lockstep when it comes to party politics.

I'm hopeful but I doubt it. They turned down the DACA+wall deal, why would they agree to a nothing+wall deal? Expect another shutdown.


they don't care about fixing illegal immigration, they don't care about the $5bn in spending, they don't care about any of this. They just don't want Trump to get a win.

Shut it down! If the government doesn’t exist to protect its borders and carry out the agenda of the fairly elected president then it shouldn’t exist.

The Dems are actually trying to find the words to downplay the wisdom of keeping terrorists out of your backyard and not look like the disingenuous fools they are. Good luck with that. When it comes to protecting 300 million rear ends, there is no debate. And Trump knows this. Checkmate.

No. They know how the media will handle the shut down.
The networks will rush to find some national park attendant who is put on leave. The guy will have a wife with diabetes named Angel and a special needs 7 year old named Timmy.
Ranger Bob will explain to the female reporter that he's had some health issues himself that have depleted his savings. So, this Christmas there will be no presents for Angel and Timmy.

Then the reporter will cut away to a video of Trump and his wealthy family enjoying their luxurious surroundings during the holidays.

This is a very old formula. It always works because Americans are dumb and highly prone to class envy.
