Trump first promised he would vote for the clean bill to keep the government running, but backed off as soon as his bosses at Fox News and Rash Limberger told him to. So you can say he did not cave. You can not say the same for Paul Ryan and the House GOP. They passed a bill that they knew would never pass in the Senate to appease Trump and his followers, so they did cave. Now polls show that Trump and the GOP are going to be blamed for the government shutdown if it happens. And polls show that a majority of Americans do not want the wall, but of course that never matters to the GOP. Something like 85% of Americans want universal background checks to buy guns, but that will never pass the GOP. What have we learned from this fiasco, neither Trump or Ryan have a backbone. And I for one will be glad the House will soon be iin the hands of the Dems. I hope that they have learned a lesson from the GOP and govern rather than just investigate.
