There’s no “make them do it” in our government. Remember we went Obie’s entire first term without even debating a budget. Most of the government runs on automatic appropriations and doesn’t an approved budget anymore. The parts they “shutdown” are really just a show, and they don’t have to make it so anybody even notices the government has “shutdown”. So Congress can sit pretty in the knowledge that if Trump doesn’t sign a budget it doesn’t matter. He simply has no power in this, any “fighting” is just for show. If Congress doesn’t want the wall in the budget it simply will not be in the budget, period.

“There’s no “make them do it” in our government.”

FR is demonstrating that the left weren’t the only ones that flunked civics, that’s for sure.

Please correct me if I am wrong... but even a continuing resolution bill still needs the president’s signature. So, Trump doesn’t sign the bill without the funding and they send home a bunch of dem federal employees. That is more than show.
