Mitch McConnell needs to find 9 Democrats to vote for the budget.

Where in the world would he find them?

If he doesn't find them, is he a failure for failing to find compromise, since he is the Majority Leader?

Or is it the Democrats fault for not agreeing to be drawn and quartered?

Isn't there a compromise somewhere?

Chuck Shumer and Mitch McConnell need to find a solution and put it on the desk of Donald Trump. Let him sign it or not. Just keep him out of the negotiations. He is not part of the Legislature. McConnell needs to do his job.
