So we’re closing up programs that are Democrat programs that we wanted to close up or that we never wanted to happen. And now we’re closing them up and we’re not going to let them come back. The Democrats are getting killed, and we’re going to have a list of them on Friday. // "We’re not closing up Republican programs because we think they work. So the Democrats are getting killed, but hey’re not telling the people about that, I say nobody. Well, I haven’t said it as bluntly as I just said it but we are closing up Democrat programs that we think that we disagree with and they’re never going to open again. He did not specify the programs but indicated that the closures would be permanent. The 15th government shutdown, now in its 14th day, lingers into a third week as Republican and Democratic lawmakers continue to blame each other for their impasse and disruptions that have resulted. "Only Democrats have made demands, and by the way, very expensive demands" in return for voting to reopen the government, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, said in a speech to the Senate on Tuesday. Senate Democrats are pushing to use their legislative leverage of withholding necessary votes for a stopgap funding bill to advocate for healthcare fixes.
