Republicans think the con can lie their way into getting DHS funding tonight.

The Public is not going to be fooled by the con artist. The con is responsible for the DHS funding shutdown because he refuses to put in simple reforms to ensure that ICE stops operating illegally and lethally.

No funding for DHS without reforms. Period.

We are partly responsible for any ramifications of the shutdown, but no, Trump is not going to convince people that it is all our fault. The reasons we are doing this is understandable, but there is some risk to this political strategy.
