Still kind of an amazing sequence: 1—Republicans have unified control of government for 2 years but don't even come close to passing a border wall, one of Trump's signature priorities. 2—Then they badly lose a midterm in which Trump's attempts to demonize immigrants fail (cont…) Nate Silver added, 3—As Dems are about to take over the House, Trump shuts down the government to demand a border wall. He later claims he has a mandate for the wall, stemming from the 2016 election, despite the midterm results and polls showing both the wall and the shutdown are highly unpopular. Web Behrens? @WebBehrens Can't blame the shutdown on Senate Dems. Republicans pulled "reconciliation" shenanigans to pass a huge tax cut for the über-rich. If they really cared about funding and building a wall (psst! they don't), they could've included it in that vote.
