There would be enough internal strife in the house where democrats could make the case very convincingly republicans control both houses of congress and the presidency. how are you going to blame us, the democrats, for a shutdown? once the republicans did come together and vote to pass a funding bill plus that chip extension for six years, now it shifts back to the upper chamber and democrats basically saying were shutting this down unless you give us what we want on this dreamer situation. and ...
