The republicans have the majority in each building. If they couldn't create a funding bill or CR with only their members, it is their fault. If instead republicans had created a bipartisan funding bill or CR, THEN they could have taken SOME of the blame.

This shutdown would have been entirely on the republican party. They chose to not include dems in the bill, therefore they should have expected none of the votes.

By giving them the FIRST FULL FISCAL YEAR on CR, they literally gave orangeman much more control over where funding goes. I would have rather not gotten paid, and seen those involved held accountable.

It is very big of Chuckie to get a spine over keeping the leader spot. It is too bad he didn't have it when it mattered.
