They say, we want the appropriations bill to look like this or otherwise we won't let it come to the floor. And you will be blamed for shutting the government. Right. So By the time the Senate revises the spending process, revises all the appropriations bill, it's no longer indicative of even a Republican majority if the Republicans are in control.
