McConnell vows Senate will block House funding bill that excludes wall money

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Wednesday said he’ll reject legislation proposed by House Democrats to fund nine partially closed government departments without money included for a border wall.
“The legislation that the House Democrats are reportedly planning to introduce and vote on tomorrow will not be a serious contribution to the negotiations that are ongoing between the administration and the incoming Democratic majority in the House,†McConnell said Wednesday. “It isn’t comprehensive, it ignores the needs of border security, it’s exactly the kind of proposal you’d expect if the incoming House Democrats are choosing to stage a political sideshow rather than doing the hard work of helping govern the country. In other words, a total nonstarter.â€
McConnell met with incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at the White House with President Trump Wednesday but leaders emerged without a deal to pass funding for about 25 percent of the federal government.

Wow.

McConnell has the President's back. And he is the key to a solution. The Dems view this as a political pissing contest, nothing more. They will not be seen as giving a morsel to Trump. But McConnell provides deflection. He won't schedule House bills for a vote that don't include money for border security. So the Dem's beef will be with him. And that could provide the cover for a deal.

Its about time Republicans start doing their job, which is what the people voted for. It seems that the Democratic Congress will be seen as wasting taxpayer money floating bills that don't have a chance in hell to pass the Senate.

Trump may have said he would own the shutdown. But it is liberals having the tantrum now and only they can own it.

Yep.
Consider the optics of keeping the government shut down because the Democrats oppose border security--when virtually every community in America is dealing with the results of the lack of such security, through crime, fender benders with illegals who are uninsured, job opportunities lost to invaders, and even the ubiquitous 'press 1 for English'.
