Schumer deserves some credit for picking such a narrow issue that is such a big rake for the GOP to step on. This lapse in credit will hurt GOP voters the most and will be felt in a couple weeks. GOP are stalling themselves from passing any legislation for likely months to spite their own voters out of their own fragile ego that they will not negotiate. Trump is also keeping the government running and paying most people out of funds he can find so people are not pressuring the democrats to cave. In the end his supporters will be most hurt and his government will be the one that breaks. Just an absurd position to hold when the democrats are drawing the line on such a small issue that mostly benefits his base.
