Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who was strongly opposed to President Donald Trump's border wall funding, on Saturday said that in order for the government to reopen Republicans, including Trump, need to "abandon" the border wall.
The most laughable part of the whole thing? Schumer says Democrats are “open to discussing any proposal as long as they do not include anything for the wall."

What don't you get, Chucky? Republicans want the border wall. You knew it was coming. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you either.
Hellooooo!
Trump campaigned on tightening border security, building a border wall and halting illegal immigration. He's following through on a campaign promise. You all had years to figure out your game plan.
We know that the Senate isn't meeting again until Thursday, which means the government shutdown will continue after Christmas. Let's see what the Democrats and Republicans come up with to end the shutdown, assuming it's bound to happen sometime soon.
