The Dems have been relying on the MSM to paint every shut down as the GOP's fault since the 1990's, and the weak-kneed GOP has capitulated on every occasion since.
Schumer and senate Dems had a budget deal in front of them. They said "no" because they demanded that DACA be included in it as well rather than as a separate stand alone issue that they know is not popular enough to pass on its own merits.
Dems and the MSM have been holding the GOP hostage since the 1990's with this political tool. I am glad we are shut down (all vital services continue). The longer that they are down, the more the country will realize that there isn't a difference and that most of the supposed critical govt functions aren't really necessary. It is time to end this practice by calling the Dems bluff and putting trump's Twitter power against the MSM.
The failure to approve the CHIP program is absolutely egregious. The Dems wouldn't support it on its own nor as part of the budget. The want it included with DACA to give their own political needs a boost. DACA is really about chain migration, and chain migration is really about the development of huge numbers of future dependents who will vote democrat.
