Question - what eight senators have got as present for cave to Trump
It's more than just the 8 who voted with the republicans. None of the 8 are up for reelection so the larger group who supported ending the shutdown (including schumer) colluded to have these 8 be sacrificial lambs.
Tha k you, I not know this.
FWIW its not obvious who the other collaborators on this vote were except schumer but they definitely exist
It's more or less all of them. Dems and repubs taks turns being controlled opposition while.pushong us on the same direction.
