The government shutdown hasn’t been as catastrophic as played up. Over a month now, and it is a big fat yawn except in the leftist media. You are right, not time to give in.

So true.
Perhaps the next step will come today - maybe Mitch will grow a pair and go nuclear in order to have the Senate pass the wall bill. That won’t get us anywhere, but at least it will lay the blame for inaction squarely on the Housebitch.
Waking up to the news today, an article in the Hill reports a few GOPe met with Pence yesterday and told him that Trump needs to end the shutdown. So not much has changed in DC, and Mitch didn’t grow a pair as you wished.
Pelosi won’t bring this up for a House vote because she has at least 40 who will support the Wall, else they will lose in 2020. Her goals are two-fold - keep her party in line to prevent Trump from having $ to build the Wall which will be used against him in 2020, and to prevent a vote where she would lose in her own House. The demokraps have their corp media/internet wing working around the clock framing the issue as a government shutdown, with no discussion of the national issue on the border.
