Please explain Trumps comments in the video clip truthseakr/exthrower. Trump clearly says government shutdowns are the result of POTUS failure to lead. Thus his failure to lead now = shutdown and last time I checked he is a republican. Thus, current shutdown is GOPs fault per the president’s own words.

If this is untrue, why do you disagree so violently with your Dear Leaders own words? Or is it that we just need complete one party control of the government like they have in communist countries? Is that your solution? If so, why do you hate American ideals and Democracy so much?

Well said.

Let me remind all that all the military spending requested by the GOP was in the last version of the draft and it was swiftly killed by Trump and team. They can't say they care that much about that issue, otherwise they would have taken it in a heartbeat.

Gary will chime in soon and say supreme GOP control will be fine with him. Funny how quickly the term unamerican has been redefined.

The Republicans don't want DACA passed at all. Even if they publicy say they do.

They don't want a compromise.

They want CHIP (or not), wall (or not), no chain, no lottery an "no" DACA.

In other words, there is nothing they want to give.

If none of that gets passed they are happy.

But they do want the government open.

Either there is a deal on DACA to reopen the government, or DACA will likely expire and go away.

Yeah, it’s pretty clear Trump is pandering to the racists in the GOP with the DACA issue. I don’t believe that all or even most Republicans are racist but the hardcore Trump supporters who ignore all the crazy, nonsensical things he does are most definitely racist.

Trump unequivocally staying in the attached video that government shutdowns are the result of poor leadership by the POTUS. Thus, this shutdown = Trump’s fault.

#Sh!tholeShutdown

Fixed your post for you, as I am sure the above is what you meant to say.

This is incorrect. The 60 votes are a rule and not a law. It can be killed.

You are not smart enough to understand—just like your boy, Trump—why McConnell said that taking the nuclear option (51 votes) is not an option. Because once Dems are in control they simply destroy everything the Repubs did. No more gerrymandering. No more republican "non-profits. No more anything for Republicans. McConnell understands he would be signing the republican's death warrant. Trump is entirely clueless.

The reason McConnell doesn't want to use this option isn't just because he's thinking about the future. It's because he doesn't have 51 votes and he knows it! McConnell doesn't want to pass a full budget like the White House has requested either, because that would require Republicans to vote on a piece of legislation that would be shown to dramatically increase the deficit in an election year.

The fact is that the government has shut down because President Dealmaker and Republicans don't know how to govern or compromise. (The only "deals" Trump ever made merely involved lying to investors, strong-arming competitors, and screwing over contractors.) Nobody can trust a damn thing they say, which is why Democrats need to deal with DACA NOW, when they have some leverage, rather than trying to get it done later and trusting that this lying brigade of bigots won't go back on their word.

The Republicans trying to hide behind CHIP are absolutely fvcking shameless. They could have passed a clean bill at any time with unanimous Democratic support, but they chose not to so that they could use the kids as a damn bargaining chip at precisely this moment. The fact is that many of them want the government to kidnap a bunch of young adults who grew up here and drop them in the middle of countries many of them have no connection to or cannot communicate in. The prospect of inflicting this kind of suffering on people who are, for all intents and purposes, American, makes many of them absolutely giddy. Democrats have apparently offered to let them build their precious confederate monument along the southern border, but some Republicans are so desperate to make Hispanics cry that they just can't get on board!

DACA people are not treated the same as others who entered legally.

They have more rules to follow than you and me and those that immigrated leapgally in the first place.

But remember, they were minors when they came in.

Minors aren't usually charged as adults nor face the same consequences.

DACA represents 800,000 illegal aliens, but DREAMers total 3.6 Million illegal aliens. This was never about the children, as the vast majority of DACA recipients are grown adults. The democrats only want votes.

LOL! Golden! With this transcript and the multiple posts in this thread with the video / audiobof Trump actually saying the above about government shutdowns the only thing Trumpets can say is, he was exaggerating. Pathetic. Truly pathetic. I get why people voted for him (sort of) but no thinking person can actually defend his actions currently based on his own prior statements. This is Trump’s shutdown—even if his insane supporters don’t see it Trump himself agrees.

Really bro, are you sure? wrote:

Um, are you sure about your first statement? It seems republican voters are pretty unified in their unwavering belief about the magic of tax cuts.

It's not a true/false statement. People tend to choose a group then stick with it, adopting the group's beliefs over reason.

Maybe it's the case that the Trumpbot racist/xenophobic stance on immigration isn't a policy supported by moderate voters regardless of their party affiliation.

Naaaah.. That's not possible.

I don't think Schumer ever made that first statement. Even if he did, the two are not inconsistent.

Both sides want votes. This is politics.

All DACA recipients were children when they got here. They did nothing wrong. That's why the vast majority of voters agree they should be allowed to stay.

Amazing thing about this is that a compromise is really not that hard. Even two polar opposites like Gary and myself agreed on a compromise bill.

That bill would be: CHIP + DACA + wall + no chain + no lottery

Gary never actually responded to the CHIP part, but I assume he'd be OK with it as part of a compromise bill.

If Gary and Fats can agree, why can't congress?

Because the Dems WANT the shutdown.....They think the Republicans will be blamed and they can win back congressional seats....There are only 51 Republicans in the Senate, they need 60 votes to fund the government....

Nobody wants the shutdown. It has never been clear who will win or lose politically. And Dems don't need a shutdown-bump to give them momentum heading into November. They've already got momentum and they don't want to risk messing it up.

Plus, politicians hate working on weekends.

Meaning that the Republicans cannot pass a republican only generated resolution. They need 60 republicans but don't have that. In order to pass anything they need to compromise and give something to get 9 dems to agree. McConnell played that game over, and over, again on Obama. . . . Payback is a beach.
