It would be trivially easy for Congress to decide they'd rather put all the blame for the shutdown on Trump and Paul Ryan, and pass a bill through both houses, then override Trump's veto... but that mean McConnell would have to choose Congress-exerting-power-over-POTUS over Repukes-exerting-power-over-Dems. When has he ever made that choice?

If he doesn't let it come to the floor, then the entire GOP has to own it, because the House passed a bill to end the shutdown and can't be blamed for it.
She ain't no dummy.
