Republicans have proved they could win an election but they cannot govern effectively. This is the first time the government has ever shut down while one party controlled Congress and the White House. The impasse centers on two issues that Congress should have solved months ago - providing legal protections to immigrants brought to the country illegally when they were children — who know the United States as their only home and re-upping Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which ensures that low-income families can get care for their children. Both programs command overwhelming support from the public and their representatives in Congress. If congressional leaders had allowed simple up-or-down votes on these questions, lawmakers would have passed mainstream solutions, easily. Republican leaders in Congress have refused to allow these votes to take place in a spineless practice of suppressing legislation that a majority of Congress supports, in counterproductive deference to their right wing. President Trump could have brokered a deal and he appeared to have done so earlier this month at a televised meeting where he promised to sign a bipartisan compromise bill on the dreamers, if one were negotiated, and to “take the heat” for doing so. But when a bipartisan Congressional group presented a plan that would have given immigration hard-liners several concessions in return for a dreamers fix Mr. Trump betrayed his promises, suddenly siding with the hard-liners who demanded a long list of policy changes in return for extending dreamer protections. Mr Trump has demanded Mitch McConnell change Senate rules to allow budgets to be passed with only 51 votes, but McConnell has publicly pointed out that Trump's new demands have fewer than 48 votes due to many Republicans voting against Trump's ever-changing wish list. On Friday Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell commented on Trump's constantly changing demands saying, “I'm looking for something that President Trump supports, and he has not yet indicated what measure he is willing to sign,” McConnell said. “As soon as we figure out what he is for, then I would be convinced that we were not just spinning our wheels.”
