What happens next ??
How long are they willing to shut down our government?
Tomorrow, both sides will return to Washington. It is doubtful that anything will get done on a Monday. They will both be anticipating what the other side might do - which will cave first ? Tuesday will be the earliest that they can begin to correct this dastardly deed, in my opinion.
Republicans have incorporated a new word into their vocabulary in the last three or so days. They now refer to Trump's wall as a "barrier". Instead of a fence or a wall, we will now build a barrier.
Trump should order Mitch to open up the House bill for a vote, but, but tell the media that Mitch did it on his own. He may even feign anger? Most likely, it will pass the Senate with a veto-proof majorty. Mitch could save Donald's ass, all the while he is saving face.
This could get the Republicans off the hook, at least for the present time.
It's hard to envision another way out of this mess with any honor intact?
