Seems the Democrats are believing their own press/polling that everyone hates Trump (2016 all over again) but I don’t see how vulnerable Democrats in the flyover states can dodge blame on this one.
Hope this drama and the release of FISA memo (assuming it happens), turns the Senate into a filibuster proof majority in 2018.

Last night McConnell asked for unanimous consent from the Senate to let Republicans pass a funding bill with 50 votes instead of the 60 that the filibuster requires. It’s not at all certain that he has even 50 votes right now, but he was willing to take full responsibility for the bill’s passage via his caucus alone. If he found the votes he needed, the government would stay open without any Democratic assent to the DREAM-less bill. Nope, said Schumer. Won’t do it. He objected to the motion for unanimous consent. McConnell still needs 60, all but ensuring a shutdown.
