will be able to have a punch line in a political speech as a fiscal conservative, i say that is an immoral use of taxpayers' dollars, especially when we all know that first of all the wall is not going to work and, secondly, $5 billion is such an incredibly small amount to try to erect this massive wall that again it's all a face saving device, besides, for democrats, you got a president who has been bragging about wanting to shut down the government for a very long time. he shut it down. let him get his votes from republicans. here's a clip that chuck schumer tweeted out last night and it shows just how desperately donald trump has been itching for a government shutdown for quite some time. take a look. >> i am proud to shut down the government for border security, chuck. so i will take the mantle.
