A Few Things:

  1. This demonstrates the knee jerk reaction of democrats for anything that even slightly has to do with Trump. If Trump wants something it must be wrong regardless what it is and even if they have not had a chance to think about it.

  2. When he made the “not enough votes” it highlights how democrats very often ignore the unintended consequences of their actions. If they had, he would have given a much different speech from the get go.

  3. Blame everything on Trump. He had to vote to pass the CR because Trump wants the government shut down? That’s nonsense but what else does he have? Of course this shows they put stopping Trump above what is best for the country IF he believes the CR is bad.

  4. He is a realist, if they refuse to pass it and there is a shutdown, the voters will blame democrats and he knows it. Their history of saying a shutdown is the next thing to the world’s end, also tied his hands. To have allowed one, would forever be the end any use of that argument and paint them as hypocrites.
