They are stupid.

"Only six Republicans — Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Susan Collins of Maine, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah — voted against Trump and McConnell’s demands and to reopen the government."

I'm actually a bit surprised at some of these names. Let's hope 8 more Republicans come to their senses soon.

We need to make sure that the entire American public knows the names of all 44.

Senate Repubs have tied their fortunes to Trump-man and most would rather go down in flames with him than risk incurring his wrath. Spineless weaklings!

At least the clean bill got more votes than the "virulently anti-immigrant proposal cooked up by the White House" border wall bill.
Trump and Congress aren't scared enough yet to stop their posturing and fix the problem but what little movement there's been has been In the correct direction.

It's too bad we don't have a mechanism in place to have a public referendum on an issue like this. If the majority votes for a wall so be it. If not move on, it's our tax dollars.....

I don't know what happened to civility on our planet, but it seems to have hitched a ride and left.

Two chances shot down!
