So then for once we all (4) agree that this is simply a political game in which the common man suffers as usual. Democrats don't want Trump to get a "victory" which in my opinion is cowardice. If they actually believe it won't have any impact let him get his wall. It will take months, maybe even more than a year to build. But so what, you can point to the fact that there has been no improvement, the whole thing was empty promises and campaign on the fact that you were right and "I told you so". What are the democrats afraid of?

Sounds like hypocrisy, they are afraid it will work and the Republicans will get credit for actually doing something about violent crime.

I understand why Trump has to stay the course, I also understand why the other Republicans (in the Senate) need to line up with him, but what I don't understand is why the Democrats think this is worth shutting the govt down and messing with millions of American families.
