“He is not going to get $5 billion for a wall.

“And the most mysterious unexplainable part in all of this is why the president decided he would rather deal with House Democrats than House Republicans in order to avert, or get his way out of, a government shutdown.”

“We’re starting to hear the Democrats view this as a moral issue,” Costello said. “And I just don’t see how House Democrats are going to vote for any more border funding for a wall. There might be a way to slice and dice this, and have some border security measures in there. But…I think the president has backed himself into a corner. He owns this shutdown. He said it was going to be his shut down. And he has not provided clarity on what he would agree to. And as a consequence, everything is ambiguous at this point.”
