There is no way for the Republicans to win this. TRUMP may win, but he will do that on his own. The GOP lost the House because they showed themselves to be feckless, useless frauds on many issues -- including this one. That's why Trump has been dealing only with Schumer and Pelosi on this. Schumer doesn't even hold a majority leadership position in his house of Congress.

Trump will keep to it because if he gives away he loses everything from that point on including, of course, 2020.

Aside from being rather dim-witted as a group, feckless is certainly a good word to describe much of the GOP. Other words also come to mind(i.e., pusillanimous, unctuous, duplicitous, sanctimonious, Pecksniffian, etc.) They certainly give every indication they’re part of the swamp uniparty and want the irritant and disruptive force Trump gone

Schumer doesn't even hold a majority leadership position in his house of Congress.

Yes, but he controls enough votes to block through filibuster. And, it is his judgement that McConnell won't go nuclear and eliminated it entirely (although he certainly will, given the future opportunity).

PEOPLE LOVE a SHUTDOWN!!

History shows Republicans win big after shutdown.
Democrat Pelosi is too inept to create a budget.

Pelosi is starving Federal grandmas.

Pelisi is hurting Federal children.

The GOP lost the house because they had too many prominent retirements.
