"In early October, several Trump administration officials had a friendly pool going of how long the shutdown would last. The Whitey House, at the time, was confident Democrats would quickly fold.
.
The Whitey House throughout has blamed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats’ intransigence, attempting to tie their desire to extend certain Obamacare subsidies to unpopular policies such as providing free health care to undocumented immigrants and allowing boys to play in girls sports.
.
But, it hasn’t gone as planned, leaving Spanky to call for a change in Senate rules that would allow legislation, including an end to the shut down, to pass with just a simple majority."
