..........the GOP controls 51 of the 60 senate votes needed to pass the budget and avoid the shut down.
Acosta asked a question that I have heard parroted on the MSM shows, "Why call it the Schumer Shut Down of the GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House?"
Well Jim and MSM and other libs, that's because the Nuclear option cannot be invoked in this case.

Right now McConnell is short of 50. If he had 50, he'd put it to the floor right now and make Schumer filibuster the bill and make a big show of the Democrats shutting down the government. But, he doesn't. Because he doesn't have 50.
They control what’s in them.
Thanks for the civics lesson, though.
So this is once again simply lying Democrat political theater
