The actual survey question was “Who do you think is mainly responsible for the federal government shutdown?”
Not who or what you blame, support or oppose.
I bet many republicans and independents would say Trump is mainly responsible, and bless him for for working so hard to get the right things done, the right way with the right tools, all while exposing the opposition for what it is.
It would not have happened without him.
Secure the borders.
Then we can let the non-essential, shutdown part of the federal government go back to being non-essential.
Good point. And the assumption by the WaPo is that everyone believes a shutdown is a bad thing.
The actual survey question was “Who do you think is mainly responsible for the federal government shutdown?”
Chuck Schumer. This is because only one bill had a chance of getting out of the Senate. That was the bill the Republican house passed in December; the bill where the Freedom Caucas added funding for a wall on the southern border. Schumer filibustered it. It never made it to President Trump’s desk to sign. The only other bills are the Pelosi funding bills that don’t have enough votes in the Senate because they lack border wall funding. So President Trump has nothing to veto. If President Trump never sees a bill that he can sign or veto, how can he be responsible for a shutdown?
Trump said he would take the blame, that he wouldn’t blame Plousey and upchuck.
He said that on the vid where he had them both in the oval office with Pence and himself.
He did let them know in advance of what the outcome would be if they chose not to include adequate funding for the wall, and tjey chose to call him on it.
Upchuck and P-lousey are as much in control of the shutdown as the President. They can tirn this thing around if the drop the pride and the need to control everything, by controling the budget expendetures better than they’re doing.
Even though Trump said he’d take the blame, the fact is, he’s doing his job, and tje others, aren’t.
Their concern is for themselves, not tje people they represent. Tjey jave themselves in a pickel by making a big deal over this.
