Americans: how long do you think the shut-down will last and how will it end?

I'm not asking what you want to happen but what you think will happen. To me, it seems that it could go on a long time because both sides are committed to a position. I guess it's a binary choice: you build a wall or you don't.

Thats not strictly true.. Although it is factual. Trump linked the Wall with a housekeeping funding bill. It was that action that brought this on and Trump admitted as much by stating up front this was his shut down. (A position he has now changed.)But he has the power to uncouple those funding bills and undo this whole thing. But equally. he WANTS this in the headlines to keep other things out. So he doesnt give a damn how long it goes on. And the Democrats are pretty well nailed to a cross on their position. They cant be seen to let Trump have a real win on this.
