Schumer: House-passed border wall bill dead in the Senate
The Hill, Dec 20, 2018

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) says a House-passed spending bill providing $5.7 billion for a border wall is dead-on-arrival in the Senate, signaling raising odds of a partial government shutdown.

“The bill that’s on the floor of the House, everyone knows, will not pass the Senate,” Schumer said moments before the House voted in support on the measure.

He accused Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) of “cynically” putting the bill on the House floor “knowing it can’t pass the Senate.”

“Everyone knows it can’t pass the Senate. It’s a cynical attempt to just hurt innocent people and do just what President Trump wants even though they probably know it’s bad for the country,” Schumer said.

[...]

“Leader Pelosi and I and probably Sen. McConnell would hope that the House would then consider passing the bipartisan, unanimously-passed bill [sent down by] Senate," Schumer said, referring to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

“Whether they’ll do that or not, your guess is as good as mine,” he added.

Certainly to me this is good news.  The House acted.  Now it's up to the Senate and IF it fails it WILL be the fault of Chuckie and the DEMS!!  Not the GOP's and not Trump's. 

I honestly didn't think the money for Trump's wall was even a remote possibility.  I will be the first one to admit that I was wrong and I stand corrected.

Does it really matter?

How many years will this be held up in courts arguing about environmental permits and the like?

I mean after a judge in HI shuts it down.

I'm more concerned about the vote count in the Senate.  After that, let the issue go before the leftist liberals ... it will only take another caravan or two ....

Thursday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin set out to define the fight over securing the border with a government shutdown looming. Instead of the “Trump shutdown” narrative, Levin said we should focus on the dangerous “Schumer-Pelosi open border.” Levin emphasized that this is what the border should now be called.

“The Schumer-Pelosi open border is endangering Americans. It’s driving up the cost of public education. It’s driving up the cost of health care. It’s driving up the cost of law enforcement. The Schumer-Pelosi open border is dangerous for America, and so we need to close the Schumer-Pelosi open border,” Levin said.

“And the way you close the Schumer-Pelosi open border is to create physical barriers … to stop foreigners from coming into our country illegally through the Schumer-Pelosi open border. We’re going to put an end to the Schumer-Pelosi open border. That’s the way this needs to be dealt with.”

good, then the Dems are 100% responsible for the shutdown and Trump's veto is not needed.

Trump needs to begin tweeting "Schumer Shutdown".  Does anyone have a connection in the White House?
