Remember, the President said he wanted a shutdown. He tweeted earlier
this year: ``Our country needs a good `shutdown' in September to fix
mess!'' He wants one. His budget director, Mick Mulvaney, has always
been for a shutdown. By including border wall funding in their proposal
and dramatically cutting domestic spending, House Republicans,
unfortunately, are playing right into their game. I urge my Republican colleagues, please, let cooler heads prevail. To
my Republican friends in the Senate, I would say persuade your
colleagues in the House to abandon this dangerous, irresponsible path
they put us on, which can only lead to a government shutdown.
