re: #213 Eclectic Cyborg

But even if the Senate votes for the clean CR, isn’t there a high chance Trump vetoes it?

If Belafon’s thoughts are correct here:

re: #201 Belafon

The ultimate goal is to have a campaign issue to run on. They’re starting to get hammered on the shutdown, but they have to make Democrats look bad. So, force a vote on the item that won’t pass, watch it fail, and then pass the measure that will.

…then that means there may be enough to override a veto and force Trump’s tiny hand. Otherwise it’s a gambit that will risk backfiring on them.
