45 is either too lazy to spend the time listening, to resolve (or more ominously, is mentally incapable of understanding) the divisions within his own GOP. Thus, a shutdown occurs.
Need more proof? Mr. Trump could not even get all his GOP Senators to vote for the measure the House put forward. It was doomed from the start, as there were defections in the GOP ranks -- in the Senate last night. So it will be, until some adult works out the differences inside the GOP's hard right, and more moderate, wings.
Note: this is the first time in American history that a shutdown has occurred when a single party held all three: the White House, the Senate. . . and the US House.
And any nonsense you read (from Fox, for example) about this being a fault in Democratic Party. . . is just that: nonsense. The Democrats have made reasonable offers of compromise, over and over. The various factions of the GOP have rebuffed them. And DACA has the backing of 65 per cent of registered voters. Trump has effectively said no to DACA, and to CHIP -- which enjoys a 70 per cent favorable rating, among similarly registered voters. Trump and his GOP apologists will reap the whirlwind in November 2018. Trust that.
Time to catch a train -- to march. Be excellent to one another. Out.
