half of them end up happening over a weekend. all have low impact on the essential services of the government. i know the president doesn't want to have a government shutdown. and he's working against one. but, frankly, i think republicans should man up, be stand up for what they believe in and force the democrats to reject the continuing resolution and force a government shutdown. and then make them pay for it. >> let's look at how that works. we have never had a shutdown with one party in control of everything. this would be the first. mcconnell doesn't even seem to have all of his own membership on board in the meeting. why did the democrats lose if the government shuts down when they're the minority? >> not just democrats but anyone who votes against the continuing resolution will lose. that will include some republicans are. the fact of the matter is they vote yesr they vote no.hem.
