Sparky speaking directly to Congress will ensure the bill will pass. McConnell better get the fuck out of his shell and govern!

realdonaldtrump is putting his own narcissistic folly over American security. He must resign or be removed from office. gop Republicans need to stand up for America and sit the toddler in Chief down.

When Daddy is not around to bail you out of your problems, I guess you will try anything.

The Republicans need to remove Trump from office

The Republicans need to tell Trump he is not getting a wall and to end this shut down. The president of the United States is acting like a spoiled child!

Let's see is the GOP senators are with Trump or with the American people.

That's just lovely, because running the government and allowing workers to get back to work and be paid is a zero-sum game we should all play.

No wall. Keep our Mexican boarder free...

The usual Bully !!!!!

This is the opposite of democratic leadership. This is an extortionist thug tactic. DumpTrump FakePresident TrumpShutdown

We Dems are dug in like McConnell was with Garland. How’s he like it now?

JoMajority What do you think they’ll do? 🤣 just kidding we all know Trump collected their testicles in a jar months ago.

Trump is used to having things his own way in business. Someone has to explain to him that a democracy is not one of his businesses. This whole shutdown is about Trump having his own way.

'Their demand'? Bullshit. This all about trump being afraid to lose his base.

realDonaldTrump doesn’t care how he hurts federal families

More are beginning to waver. Realizing they have a nut job for a leader.

Which ones got $10k bonuses while the government is shutdown?

The 2020 elections are just around the corner and I think a lot of Republican Senators are going to find out this wall is the Hill they die on. They are fools if they let Trump and Mitch McConnell destroy their careers over a lie told by a con man to satisfy his own ego.

He's pathetic.

Now I know what he does when not tweeting. He must be getting sprayed down with that Orange shit. He glowed orange today

Let’s see who’s willing to watch it all burn just so this con man saves face.

Trumps a joke...

Wait. Why did the Republicans waver in “their demand” for a border wall when they controlled congress 2 weeks ago?

Lol. Their demand? God I'd be so pissed if I were a GOP senator right now. Btw, McConnell could stop this right now. Call a vote, force a veto, override the veto and open the government.

How embarrassing for those Republican senators that they have to bow down to Donald trump. No free thinking, screw their constituents. They better do want he wants or else he will get mad is sick

They would do well to ignore Trump at this point. The shellacking from voters in November didn't get their attention sufficiently enough?

“Their” demand? Or “his” demand? How many current GOP Senators ran for office on a platform of building a “border wall”?

He. Just. Doesn't. Get. It. Does. He?

Tell the GOP they are betraying the American people by allowing us to be held hostage over 5.6 billion dollars we were promised we would NEVER have to pay.

Good. We’ll flip the senate next.

TrumpShutdown2019 is on day 19. The house and senate have each passed measures to open government.

Good, we want a secure country. BuildTheWall
