    Both are to blame. Dems for obstruction and reps for not changing the rules for automatic funding.

    There are 51 republicans who majority voted to NOT shut it down.

    You need 60 votes. Not a single democrat voted.

    The problem is that for this vote, they needed 60 votes and the GOP only had 50 (and I know they did not get all of their members) but for the CR to pass, 10 Dems needed to vote, and they did not, thus by not voting the Dems are accused of shutting down the government,

    Having said that it was clearly the GOP that has failed, remarkably, to govern, and that is 100% their fault.

    This shit show is compounded by the Dems holding the entire hostage over DACA, while the GOP screws with DACA while the vast majority of the US is for protection of the DACA 800K.

    All democrats not hard to understand. They want kaos and to blame the Republicans. When the libtards had the power they blamed the Republicans then to. The press went along with it. Wake up freaking libs dont want the country to succeed. They dont want a great economy it hurts their agenda.

    Wrong as usual. Republicans are for DACA but want more border protection so the libtards like you are using DACA as an excuse to shut down the government. They dont want border protection they want as many illegals here as possible to get their vote.
