Another substory is just how ridiculous of a proposal it is for the President to shutdown the government over a project with such low approval rating.

Here's a quote


I’m not here to point out why the border wall is bad policy, but I am here to point out that even as just proposed policy, it is vastly harmful. Without a single stake being stuck or a shovel being shoved, the sheer idea of border wall and its use in negotiations is hurting our country in measurable, objective ways. When 2020 rolls around, we must keep this in mind and try our damndest to not elect an unqualified, immature, petulant, disunifying, stubborn, arrogant, cowardly, and dishonest person to serve in the highest office of the land. We need reasonability in government.
