Without control of the Senate Republicans can’t cut the illegal crap from the budget and get it on O’bastards desk to sign or veto.
If the House does it now Hairy Reed puts it back in and tosses it back to the House. The house either has to pass that or be blamed for the shutdown.
Get rid of Reid as Senate leader and you can get to O’bastard’s desk, then HE would get blamed for a shutdown!
You think the MSM would ever allow Obama to be blamed for a shutdown? lol
