Shutdown will continue.

Neither bill would make it to the President’s desk.

If Repubs cross and support this second bill, Nancy wins the game.

Time to go nuclear and see what the house does with that in their lap.

Before anybody jumps ugly, could Lee and/or Cotton have been voting nay for procedural reasons?

If not, let the jumping ugly commence.

YAWN, I hope the furloughed folks realize that the Dems could get them back to work in a NY minute for a measly 5 billion dollar wall, less the one dollar nancy provided.

It will fail.

This was a show vote and we’re a long way from a bipartisan deal to end the shutdown.

Who knows? I will give Lee and Cotton the benefit of the doubt before knee-jerking and flaming against them.

Some people here were suggesting that Mike Lee would make a good SCOTUS justice. No thanks!

Nancy Pelosi is demanding that every American keep their Front Doors unlocked and open or she will continue the Federal Government Partial Shutdown.

“Next they will vote to advance the House passed CR.”

Sorry, I should have said they will vote whether or not to advance the House bill. I don’t expect that it will pass.

Let's REALLY correct the vote: it was 47-1 against. Manchin voted for it, the Demorats voted against it, and those Senators with an "R" after their name were ALL absent.

Democrats can keep playing political games but they won’t be able to force Trump’s hand.

He isn’t caving.
