Why are Democrats trying to shut down our Government?

They have shown contempt for ordinary Americans because they care more about stopping Mexico from paying for the wall than they do about their own Government. They have no credible plan and this will backfire on them.

It's Trump who used the wall as leverage. It's Trump who proudly accepted the responsibility of the shutdown. It's Trump who, at the last minute, refused to sign the bill he said he would.

This has nothing to do with who is paying for a wall, as if we could force another country to pay for one of our projects. Trump said much of the wall has already been built and that security at the border is doing a wonderful job. Sounds like we don't need a wall at all.
