Who will cave first Schumer or Trump?
Once this becomes known as the Schumer Christmas Shutdown, I think Schumer caves.
The dims have to be idiots to shutdown the gov't over $5 Billion for a partial wall.
Trump can name Schumer as the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

The Dems own this shutdown. They care about illegals more than us.

I would say Schumer because he has the support of the lib media, but since it's the holidays and these lib frickers probably won't be as active as usual blaming Trump, so Trump has a good chance of putting the blame on Schumer, and therefore get the $5 billion and the win.

!!!TRUMP!!!

I think this will be the longest shutdown in the history of the US government. Neither side has a political reason to cave. And I don't see a deal that either side can live with.

This will go past Jan 3rd. I think at that point Congress overrides Trump's veto to fund the government which will play right into Trump's hand for reelection.

I agree with this. Trump will not cave because he already fricked the dog once with the Omnibus Bill. The dims will not allow funding to go towards one of Trump's primary campaign promises because it will put his base into overdrive for 2020 (hell, it might either way).

I expect this shutdown to last. A while. I hope it does. Because logical independents tend to see things rationally and will side with the President, the longer this drags on.

Cryin Chuck and negative Nancy are shitting the bed right now, and their pants. These are likely the two most blatant cowardly "leaders" of the Democratic party in a generation or two. They talk all this shite about Trump when the cameras are on them but when they're in the same room with him they won't even look him in the fricking eye or talk to him, even while he directly addresses them. They are greasy shitstain cowards and nothing more.

Nancy Pelosi is in the worst position of all of this. Nothing can get done until she is formally sworn in as the next Speaker and then when she is sworn in they are going to throw her to the wolves because she is going to cave because Cali needs to be reimbursed for the natural disasters.

It's funny...in a weird twist...The Dems won't agree to funding of the wall based on historical standards...their base won't get across the border.

But now, it would be a tacit acceptance they've fricked up for so long and an endorsement of Trump.

That's what they're more concerned about.

Two major mistakes by the dems, in my opinion that need to be pointed out.
And Trump should take advantage of.

Crying Chuck saying “Trump will never get his wall”
Not now, not in January, not ever.

Chucky just owned the shutdown.

And Crying Chuck demeaning Trumps base.

We will be more energized than ever.

Agreed. I can easily see it extending into the Spring.

It actually benefits Trump too because it will suck all the oxygen out of their 85 investigations they are supposed to start. They can’t really do that until they solve the shutdown.

Ultimately they might override the veto and then the GOP Senators that like to play both sides would be exposed as well.

I dont know who gives in but am willing to bet neither side is happy in the end.

Also dont cheat Trump out of his shutdown, he himself took full ownership of it.

Trump already said he would own the shutdown... In his own words, not some media made up fake news story.

Funny thing is, he wants to shut down the govt over funding for a wall project that on the campaign trail he said the US wouldn’t pay for.

You can’t make this stuff up.

#SchumerChristmasShutdown is on twitter but twitter will probably stifle it.
