How the shutdown could end without (much) drama.
Mitch McConnell suddenly has to leave for [cough] medical reasons. His successor "accidentally" puts the CR up for a vote. (It's a complicated job and there was pandemonium in the office.) It then passes by a large enough margin that the same votes would override a Trump veto. Either Trump caves to avoid the humiliation of having his veto overridden, or he vetoes the CR and Republican congressfolk stick to their original "yes" votes and override.
Putin gets a note from Mitch's doctor saying he was really sick and then decides to... Oh, who cares?
Guess what, Girard? It also ends if Pelosi gives in on the wall. Or is at least willing to compromise.
