12. Because they could never get that and Democrats want the government to function

When the government is shut down real people are hurt. Not to mention, every major Democrat can be found in the Congressional record asking for a "clean" CR back in the Obama years. It is good that they are trying to get some good done, but - just as with the Republicans in the Obama years when they wanted minor things like repealing ACA - the Republicans will never give up their ONE legislative "accomplishment".
