    Is it better for the Republican senate to pass a spending bill they know in advance will be vetoed?

    If they think it should be law, they should pass it. That's their job. Then it is the president's decision whether to sign it or not.

    All part of the process. If the senate is to vote and pass it only to have trump shut it down, then congress has the option to override the veto.

    The bill passed with enough support in the Senate to override a veto, but the Republican party has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump crime family.

    Trump cllaimed to have received hundreds of calls supporting the shut down. The White House switchboard is not operating due to shut down.

    No tax refunds this year as long as the shutdown continues. The IRS is one of the parts of the government that has shutdown. Only 12% of IRS workers are on the job, all without pay. None of them are doing returns. Hope you republicans are happy.

    Trump was correct about one thing. I'm getting tired of all the winning.

    Are you going to have a different opinion than some of the ideologues?

    If so, maybe.
