It’s pretty clear at this point that if the government shuts down, Democrats will be to blame. But that’s not stopping them from desperately trying to pin the #SchumerShutdown on Republicans.
Take Sen. Patty Murray, for instance:
Democrats have made it clear we want to keep the government open to continue negotiations and reach a good result. If Republicans reject that and shut down the government, they'll be held accountable by people who will be paying the price for GOP dysfunction. #TrumpShutdown

Republican leaders have spent months refusing to work with Democrats on a long-term extension of the Children’s Health Insurance Program. They have blocked every effort to protect DREAMers in Washington state and across the country.

She may be old, but her flexibility is impressive. Not everyone can twist themselves into an intellectual pretzel like that.
@SchumerShutdown….fixed that for you.

How can it be a #TrumpShutdown when @SenateDems are blocking the bill? #ShumerShutdown
