Make no mistake: End of shutdown was NOT for any reason than it's what's best for HIM. [View all]

Turtle's comments yesterday, coupled with a big hit to Trump's approval rating... caused Trump to move on the shutdown.

I think this extension of several weeks is EXACTLY like the bill that the House Democrats passed, which the Senate would not. Open the gov, extend the 2018 budget for a short while, enter negotiations on 2019 budget including border security.
