I could be accused of being a charter member of the advanced tin foil hat club for this, but here's my take.

The 'bipartisan deal' which includes a slew of unacceptable landmines & only 25% of the wall money that Trump asked for. It was doomed to fail. But, it was co-crafted by sly Republicans, ensuring in its details, that this 'deal' was a poison pill deal & that Trump would never sign it. No deal coming out of the House was EVER going to provide all the required money and be found to be effective in protecting our southern border. The government shutdown 2.0 was inevitable. But by working with the Dems on this hyped compromised deal, the Republicans can show the nation that they tried. And when the government shuts down, only Trump will take the political heat. Smart move, Pres!
