The problem appears to be for Democrats that they simply cannot give into Republicans and have anyone take them seriously as a party anymore. The Battle Lines are drawn.

So, I think expecting this Government shutdown to be a long one is a good bet.

Has Trump met his match in Congressional Democrats? It's hard to say after Trump was inaugurated because he has broken every rule in the book.
