Republicans are rejecting Schumer's proposal (according to albaby1, the very FIRST actual proposal the Dems have even made in all of this time).
Good.
Stand on principle. Schumer and the Dems have none.
They admitted the only reason they shut down the government was for political leverage.
As in finance, leverage can work both ways, good and bad.
Schumer will whine and gripe but has to cave all the way and release his caucus to sign on to the clean C.R. and it has to happen before November 21. This was just a last ditch effort to try to salvage something out of this self-created fiasco.
Schumer's career is over either way. He isn't running for re-election after this disaster.
