I dunno, republicans are taking the line of "well, Democrats won't budge, so... Blame them!"

My ire is over McConnell. In past shut down he's said (and allegedly been willing) to at least try bandage legislation to keep things going . Now he just says it's between. Trump and Democrats, that hes staying on the sidelines.
