In September the excuse will be that we are entering an election cycle (aren’t we always) and that this is no time for a shutdown.
Now was the time to draw the line. The President could have come before the people, pointed out how destructive this kind of ridiculous blow-out spending bill is, and that we are going to face up to it once and for all.
Voters would have risen up in support.

So even with the House, the Senate and the Presidency in our control, we are once again going to fall in line behind Ryan, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest.
I am quite certain enemies of the USA such as NK, Iran, etc. Have noticed that Trump caves if enough pressure is brought to bare. Not good. Tomahawks in Syria are one thing a real shooting war in Korea is another, particularly if Russia and or China decide to jump in.
