A compromise bill existed and had the votes to pass.

The president got embarrassed by a woman on tv, and built himself back up by tweeting complaints about the lack of wall funding in the compromise bill.

Ryan’s House then wrote a new bill that they KNEW WOULDNT PASS in order to placate the president. They essentially guaranteed a shutdown in order to protect the president from having to capitulate on a demand they didn’t want him to make in the first place

Now, with a bill that didn’t have to exist and which has no path to 60 votes, they want to break the senate and turn it into a pure majority rule institution...for a bill they knew didn’t work when they wrote it.

And here’s why it amazes me: polling, including internal Republican polls, point to the wall and immigration talk as the issue that hurt Republicans most in the midterms. It hurt them with virtually every demographic except white uneducated males of retirement age or greater. Hell, late deciders in the midterms were majority Republican by affiliation, but voted Democrat. And Republican internal polling went so far as to indicate that, if not checked or reversed, it might eventually be an affiliation-breaker for as many as 10% of their remaining voters.

The immigration talk endears them to Stephen Miller, Tucker Carlson, 40% of Republican voters....and no one else. It just helped cost many Republican lawmakers their jobs. Now, the remainder are more willing to cause a shutdown over it than they are prepared to allow the president to be seen having his stupid bluff called.

Was there ever any real question of this?
