We know that they had CR passed and about to be signed until Mann Coulter and Limpballs stepped in and then Trump caved. So why doesn't Pelosi publically shame him - showing how afraid he is of them? That he should be his own man and honor his commitments.
Would that make a difference? We know Trump has no shame but he does hate being publicly shamed.

(10,252 posts)Coulter and Limbaugh called him "weak," and that's what got his back up. Trump has no honor and betrays on his commitments all the time. We know that he repeatedly stiffed the contractors and employees at his buildings. It is all up to the republican senators now to force McConnell to take a vote. There are 22 Republican senators up for re-election in 2020. When enough of them (and GOP House members) decide that they will vote a veto-proof bill, then the shutdown will end. So the longer the shutdown goes, the more people feel Trump's pain and stupidity, the more they will pressure Congress. That's my take on it.

Steve Miller will create a plausible escape and with his master getting the praise for the idea.
