[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And Trump could have tried to compromise to get that 5% of republicans to vote for the wall OR sign into law the compromise that was sent to him before Christmas. It wasn't rocket science, either Trump had the votes or did not have the votes.

If he worked to get the votes, then he could have had his way. Instead, nothing happened and the republicans all left for the holiday.[/quote]

Trump stayed.
Pelosi went to Hawaii.[/quote]

The House had already passed Trump's bill. [b]The Senate voted unanimously for something different.[/b] Not Pelosi's fault. Neither she, nor the Dems had control of the House at that point. Or do you think we don't remember what happened last week?

You got it wrong in terms of the timing.

Here is what happened chronologically:

1. Senate passed a bill without wall money

2. House didn't take up that senate bill. The house passed "Trump's bill" with $5.6 billion wall and border money.

3. The senate needs 60 votes to clear the filibuster by senate democrats. "Trump's bill" needs 10 more democrats to clear the senate.

4. Government shutdown.

You’re missing many steps.  Such as, Trump said he didn’t support the bill in the Senate.  Trump changes his mind and supports the bill.  Trump changes his mind and doesn’t support the bill at after some people went home for Christmas.[/quote]
