Rand said exactly what I've been thinking, Trump will sign whatever bill is passed and given to him. The Democrat talking point has been that Trump keeps changing his mind. That's just the blame game. Durban and Schumer are whinging and wailing that Trump is so hard to deal with. They must be mad that Trump is using the same tactics that they are famous for: duplicity, bait and switch, lying, cheating, etc.
But Rand gets it right. What Trump is saying in his meetings with Schumer and Durban doesn't matter. He will sign whatever Congress actually sends to him.

Here's what I think: I think if Republicans get together and say, "You know, with the government shut down, this is the time to shut down some things permanently. Let's decide what that looks like and let's all agree we will do what we have to do to pass it."

Um, what makes you think most Republicans want any of it shut down? And, you do know that if this budget could be passed by a simple majority, the Republicans would have passed something long ago, right? So, if they need Democratic votes to pass something, and Democrats will screw the whole country into the ground for the chance to fill the airwaves with their 'they control all three branches but the government is shut down!' propaganda, then what, exactly, comprises "do[ing] what we have to do to pass it"?

Lamar Alexander is one of the worst. Trump is going to have to take the lead on this and just start cutting departments while Congress delays.

Agree. It's past time to trim.
Every business in the world goes through layoffs. Often the big companies do it as a routine just to clear out the bottom performers. Why is a government job some kind of sacred cow, guaranteed for life?
The economy is booming. There will never be a better time to transition people from the public sector to the private sector.

What's funny is that's what every honest liberal should want. Democrats really like the spending part of Keynes but completely ignore that Keynes was a hardcore budget cutter in good times. Keynes would hate the modern Democratic party.

Rand has some amazing looking crunchycon footwear on.
Because a private sector CEO has a financial incentive to do that pruning. If people can be laid off without revenue dropping, that means more profit for dividends, and that means a higher stock price.
A politician, on the other hand, gets financial incentives for protecting donors from bureaucrats. The more bureaucrats there are, the more protection donors need, and the more potential donors there are that need protection.
I could sure walk down the halls of the NSA. "Please hand over your credential and cell phone and leave the building. Be here on Wednesday to collect your severance pay and clean out your office." There would be a "For Lease" sign on the building by Monday.

Why would anyone in their marginally right mind want to end it?

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

This shutdown needs to end. All those millions of furloughed employees and their families are hurting, and have suffered enough
