So, are we all confident Senate Dems will hold firm tomorrow? [View all]

I wish I was. I could just see a few “moderates,” scared of taking the blame for something as “unthinkable” as a shutdown, breaking ranks to vote for cloture. Sure, they’d then vote against the actual measure, but it would pass on Republican votes alone. Trump gets his Wall (and even more adoration from his base), and Democrats get to complain about it for the next two years.

I’m really, really hoping Schumer is willing and able to hold a solid party line on this one.


Will Democrats keep the border wall funding from passing the Senate?
