Here is a sane voice and the blame which will be evry effective given Trump's perch.
Quote:
“Republicans control the House, they control the Senate and they control the presidency,” said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont. “The government stays open if they want it to stay open, and it shuts down if they want it to shut down. It’s time to stop kicking the can down the road and time to start negotiating in good faith.”

The White House budget director, Mick Mulvaney, said on Friday that the Trump administration is preparing for “what we’re calling the ‘Schumer shutdown.’
Not that I feel sorry for the likes of Shumer and Pelosi. They are part of the problem and not the solution.
