Most all the media is, as usual, discussing a possible shutdown as if it would be the Republicans who shut the government down. The president and members of the party really need to turn that around and present it, loudly, as the Dims shutting down the government over one or two billion to begin the border wall, which many of them voted for in the form of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (including Schumer, Hillary, Obama and many others).
Of course, some key Republicans in Congress would have to grow a spine on this situation for the first time in their careers.
If there are enough patriots Republicans in the House, a bill that funds the wall will pass in the House.
So, isn’t the real issue here that Senate Democrats will try to fillibuster the budget bill passed by the House?
Option 1: Make the Democrats mount a REAL fillibuster. Let them talk themselves hoarse and reveal themselves to be the silly puppets of special interests.
Option 2: NUKE the non-constitutional fillibuster for Budget Bills.
