3. Saying shut it all down is a right wing talking point.

The Democratic talking point is that the party can't vote for a funding bill that guts healthcare.

Magats have adapted to try to throw the shutdown blame to Democrats. They want to fund the troops using money not appropriated to fund the troops, what a devious idea. Thune will also add funding to this bill for other items, such as child care to make it hard for Senate Democrats to remain united.
