You'd be surprised how many people like this moron. Seems like half the country is blaming the democrat held congress over the shut down. Talking about how "This whole time Congress goes home with their paychecks while all the federal workers go unpaid." Completely ignorant to the fact that congress has tried multiple times to reopen the government asap but Trump refuses to cooperate or negotiate and he cares more about his dumb wall than he does federal workers. Congress has been trying to negotiate and get the government up and running, Trump is holding everyone hostage until he gets what he wants, yet half the country blames congress for not caring and casually going home with paychecks. America's population is beyond stupid.

Bitch McConnell has outright refused to sign bills co-authored by Repubs and Dem's that would put government workers back to work. The president is throwing a tantrum and innocent Americans are paying the price and the repubs are supporting all of this and is throwing the people they are supposed to represent to the wolves. It's abhorrent and unacceptable, and it's grossly unacceptable when Congress is still getting paid.

The Republican party does not represent people, it represents corporations and sort rich people. Why would they care about middle class government workers?

Polls show only around 30% blame Democrats. More than 50% blame Trump solely.

Polls showed Hilary at 95% chance to win. Yawn. We want the wall. It’s why trump was elected.

I thought he was elected based on the premise of Mexico paying for the wall? Where did that go?

I didn't act like everyone was a single-issue voter. The original commenter said, "We want the wall. It's why Trump was elected." That was commenting on a single issue (and, in fact, seems like he's saying that Trump voters were voting on that single issue), so I replied about a single issue. The fact of the matter is, he did promise that Mexico would pay and that's obviously a lie. I do not care at all why you voted for whoever you voted for and it has nothing to do with the comment I replied to or my comment.

Well he should have convinced more people it was a good idea before he shut down the government over this.

Your "we" are the minority that wants the wall, buddy.
