Getting a budget passed requires enough votes in the Senate to defeat a filibuster. Since the GOP does not have the votes, they have to bargain and compromise with the Democrats to get a budget passed under regular order. After Trump’s election, the Democrats chose resistance and obstruction, so no budget would be passed under regular order and a continuing resolution was required.

That seems a cop-out. Put forward a budget and let the Dems flounder. So far, I can’t see where a budget was even proposed! Until Obama, we always had a budget. Trump should propose his and let the Dems be the party of “no budgets.”
