Democrats may not fear another shutdown, but will they really sacrifice $55 billion for domestic priorities next year just to deny Trump a measly $5.7 billion for a physical border barrier ?

They just might, if they can also get a $71 billion cut in defense. They hate the country that much. And, in their view, that $71 billion can be re-directed (eventually) to a "peace dividend", i.e., liberal wish-project spending.

I agree that they would be very much likely to want to cut defense by that much ... or more.
