Oh I fully agree - but as the shutdown continues someone has to give somewhere.  As long as Trump is standing for the security of the US I have no problems with the shutdown.  My comment was more that as it goes longer and longer sooner or later it will affect something or someone not getting paid that they care more about then border security.

Clinton shut it down for around 21 days - Gingrich wanted to cut medicare/medicaid and Clinton stood up to stop those cuts.  It is intersting that this shutdown is starting around the same time of year and I believe as long as Trump keeps the message about border security he should have no problem.  BUt of course according to history.com where I went to refresh my memory Clinton decided it would be a great time to get a new mistress for his Oral Office since few people were around.
