A funding bill for the government needs to be passed that also has the 5 billion dollars for the wall. The president wants it, the people want it, and the house has passed it. It is ONLY Schumer and his cohorts that dont want it.

So yes-------------it will rightly be called the Schumer Shutdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Methinks you are drinking too much kool aid. Polls have overwhelming shown that Americans don't want the government shut down over the wall. What happened to Trump saying that HE would take responsibility for the shut down?

IF the government is shut down it is because TRUMP wants it shutdown. Remember, he's already said he OWNS it and he is PROUD of it. And no, the people do NOT want the wall hence why YOU cons lost the HOUSE!

The jury is still out.

There have been suggestions by many...Trump included...that McConnell should nuke the 60 vote thing and pass the wall budget with 51 votes.

Will he do it? We'll find out. If he doesn't, then yeah...we'll have the Schumer shutdown.

It's the Trump shutdown - Schumer is simply helping to assure that it happens.

Nope, Trump has already OWNED it and said he would be PROUD of it so if there is a shutdown it will be because of TRUMP. Trump promised Mexcio would pay for the wall, NOT the american taxpayer. You love a liar like Trump, but sorry, the facts show it will be a TRUMP shutdown since he has already ADMITTED IT! Sorry con, can't deflect this on anyone else. If Republicans want the wall, they can use the nuclear option.

It isn't a Dem problem, it is a Trump and Republican shutdown.

If McConnell doesn't use his power then it's the McConnell/Trump shutdown.

Your post was a perfect first response to the absurd OP and nothing could be added to it, so I merely quote the post.

It isn't a Dem problem, it is a Trump and Republican shutdown.

The majority of the House wants it. More than half the Senate will vote for it. The only ones who stand in the way of funding for the wall is Schumer and his merry band of Senate Dems.

Schumer Shutdown.

The senate republicans can use the nuclear option (as the majority party) so it is a Republican and Trump shutdown. Sorry those facts get in the way of your partisan idiotic comments.

Not 100% sure but from what I'm reading the Senate Republicans don't even have the 50-51 votes they'd need for the Nuke Option. Can we imagine how embarrassing Turtle McConnell would be if he played the Nuke card and bill still failed?

It would be GOLDEN!!!

Schumer forced Trump to take credit for the shutdown Trump is threatening?

Say "DERP" any louder and the site will have to shut down for a while to recover.

was the other part not clear enough to identify who assumed responsibility for a government shutdown
