The elevator doesn't go to the top floor, does it?
For f*ck sake, so if this was flip-flopped and the Dems had 51 seats, you'd be blaming the shut down on the Republicans? As others have pointed out, 60 votes are needed to force BOTH parties to compromise.
The wall is a dumb idea. Stupidity. At. Its. Finest. Hell, many Republicans don't want a wall. Trump and his wall is like a kid not getting a certain present for Christmas.
Illegal immigration can be reduced without a wall. Period.
I love how Trumpers want all illegals shipped out. Have you wondered where your ham and veggies come from? Do you honestly think there are enough Americans willing to do the sh*t jobs? I'll let you in on a little secret that everyone in DC already knows: there aren't. Immigration reform is mostly to work the GOP base. Period.
Fortunately, Mueller time is approaching. Probably not fast enough, but he's coming. And I will repeat again, this investigation is YUGE. Many, many politicians are in BIG trouble.
Trump is f*cked.
Country over party.
