Lol no, there would not be. Republicans don’t actually care about Trump’s wall and even if they did, they care about preserving their ability to suppress Democratic voting far more.If they tack-on a section where it says, the irrevocable contract of building and maintenance of Trump's proposed wall, into H.R. 1 there may be bi-partisan support for the bill.
Why would the democrats get blamed? I never understood this argument under Obama either and it turned out that sure enough, republicans got the blame.The only way I see anything controversial getting 60 votes this year is if it's tied to raising the debt ceiling. And that's risky because if it doesn't pass Dems get blamed for ruining the nation's credit.

That does raise another good point though, the democrats should abolish the debt ceiling while they are at it. It’s one of the dumbest ideas in history.
Well that’s always been the GOP’s problem - Americans really, REALLY hate essentially all of their policies. That’s why they rely so heavily on culture war nonsense and white identity politics.I think if the GOP truly wants to revive deficit scolding, shutdowns, and potential defaults, they're going to find an America muuuuch less interested in entertaining them than in the Obama years. Even then it was quite unpopular.
Oh yea and they are a "workers party" who won't raise taxes on corps or the wealthy to pay for anything. LOL.

If memory serves when republicans were trying to repeal the ACA when polled their own voters didn’t believe that their plan was to repeal it and replace it with nothing, even though that was exactly what they were trying to do. The people that voted them into office simply wouldn’t believe that they would do something so cartoonishly evil.
