5. It's not a good choice.

Either close down the government, temporarily at least, or give Trump more power over Congress. Closing down the government is not something the Democrats can be blamed for doing, since they were not included in the negotiations for this bill. This is the GOP, it is on them, they are the party in power and I say make them pay the price.

Democrats appear to still be struggling with messaging. Listen to what AOC had to say, about this same bill on the House side. She's explained clearly what the consequences are. Their vote, virtually unanimous.
