They (and I have to think they are democrats) say it cannot be done because it would cause a government shut down because the democrats would then say the republicans refused to defund the government. Defunding can be done. Is really quite simple to defund. The only problem is republicans never seem ready to voice their reasons why they defunded and this is where the democrats eat them for lunch. The opportunity is there this time to explain this to the American People if the republicans will ‘stand up’ and defund in the House. Anyone with an ounce of common sense could give the republicans the means to win this fight, of words, but it truly appears republican leaders do not want to lead.
