Government shutdown for Christmas break.
An 'emergency' will come up in January and the government will have an 'emergency' funding measure that will just have to pass without the wall.
Trump signs because he never wanted the wall, just the issue.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) rejected President Donald Trump’s call to partially fund the border wall with a simple majority vote on Friday, suggesting not enough Senate Republicans support the measure.
President Trump called on McConnell to use the “nuclear option,” or switch to a simple majority vote in the Senate, to pass the continuing resolution (CR) that would partially fund the border wall...

50 if Orrin Hatch flips
Ditch Mitch NOW
Not if no one is twisting arms.
SHUT IT DOWN.
The hatred of Conservatives is bigger on the Repub side than the Dems.
You said we all need to be polite and not flame. So I won’t say what I want to do to the Turtle.
“Time for his fellow senators to grow a spine and replace him as speaker with someone who will.”
Would be nice to see the Senate keelhaul that jerk in January.
Ten minutes after the democrats take over the Senate they will go nuclear.
The Republican elites are doing suicide and don’t even know it.

Which is EXACTLY why we need to know WHO these Republicans are. They each need to be primaried.
Not enough votes, Michy boy.
Well, why not just call for a vote on the option and create some momentum.
Huge disappointment.
That’s it! Time to march on DC? Except that isn’t happening, so enjoy the stalemate, folks. Some people are going to be jumping for joy at the government shutdown. I want the damn wall funded now.
I imagine if the boss called for a March on DC....there would be hundreds of thousands of patriots showing up. Including me!
I am sick and tired of these lobbyist-loyal, career politician ‘leaders’ and rulers who enjoy their cushy DC lifestyle, all on OUR dime.....while completely ignoring We the Taxpayers/constituents.

I’d love to know who the 12 republicans are. Maybe Collins, Murkowski, Flake, Heller, Burr, Tillis, Portman, Alexander, Thune. We need to put maximum public pressure on these clowns. At the very lest phone calls to every voter in their states, informing voters that they support illegals over Americans
Democrats depend on boogie man conservatives to scare their followers into donating and voting.
Real conservatives are an existential threat to the career of the average Republican politician.
We have a day. MAYBE the weekend if these jerks can be convinced to go to work on Monday. We can try but what is public pressure going to do that Trump and the Freedom Caucus telling them to do this wouldn’t?
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio all voted for the 2013 amnesty bill. They have shown which side they are on.
Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans who want to complete the GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
We will never get border security from them.
They have spent their careers preventing US from getting it.
