Hypocrisy is shutting the government down because of the deficit allegedly not that many years ago and now with record spending by the GOP requesting more money for a wall most Americans don't support. And you're confusing border security that most people agree is important to Trump's wall. Given the polling I'm seeing he's rightly taking a beating. Even with that if it was just a case of giving him wall money just this once I would say pay the ransom. But it would be just the start of more shutdowns.
Again Dems are ready to open the government without demanding anything extra. It's Trump that is keeping all those people working without pay for a wall that more of us don't want.
