1. I'm liking candidate

Amy Klobuchar more and more.

2. Why did they vote no?

[Clash City Rocker]

3. Perhaps there was something in it that would be politically unpalatable?

It can’t be coincidence that 5 Dems voted no, and 4 of them are candidates for president.

5. So they can run on complete opposition to the wall?

Or are they holding their cards to say they opposed it because it didn't go far enough?

[bearsfootball516]

7. I'm guessing it's the former.

They don’t want to be part of any attack ads that says “SO AND SO VOTED TO FUND TRUMPS BORDER WALL”

4. F'n Disappointing

I'm also liking Amy Klobucher more and more.

[Yosemito]

6. That's fine. She isn't going anywhere though

Her chances are very slim.

[marylandblue]

9. I think she has a good chance. She came across well in her speech.

And handled her staffing problem rumors well.

8. I like Klobuchar more now too, I don't get why the others voted no

unless it was to pander. It was a good compromise for Democrats and they must have realized that. And a no vote would mean another shutdown, only now it would be the Democrats' fault.

10. And, why would those repubs

vote "No", too?

[Yosemito]

13. For a different reason, obviously

Because they wanted the wall immediately.
Are you suggesting that Kamala et al wanted a wall?

[Cha]

15. No.. you misunderstood. I know it's

it's for a different reason, of course.

It just seemed odd that those repubs wouldn't go along with mitch and the others. Thought maybe you would know.

Didn't expect to get asked if I thought Kamala et al wall.. but whatever.

16. I would guess Rubio's constituency is opposed to the wall. Scott likely recognizes that it's racist.

Paul is probably just opposed to government funding of almost any kind.

Not sure about Sasse.

As for the rest, they're batshit crazy and Trump's base is their base.

[Cha]

17. Thanks, Garrett! Those are

high minded reasons for Rubio and Scott.

[Mme. Defarge]

11. A cheap way to assert their political purity

knowing they would most likely not have to be concerned about inflicting more real hardship and suffering on federal employees.

[Trumpocalypse]

12. Marky & Gillibrand were the other two

[Garrett78]

14. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Not worth any angst.

It's politics.
