More Americans blame Trump for government shutdown: Reuters/Ipsos poll

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More Americans blame President Donald Trump than congressional Democrats for the partial U.S. government shutdown, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday found, as lawmakers returned to Washington with no quick end to the shutdown in sight.

Forty-seven percent of adults hold Trump responsible, while 33 percent blame Democrats in Congress, according to the Dec. 21-25 poll, conducted mostly after the shutdown began. Seven percent of Americans blamed congressional Republicans.

The shutdown was triggered by Trump's demand, largely opposed by Democrats and some Republicans, that taxpayers provide him with $5 billion to help pay for a wall he wants to build on the Mexican border. Its total estimated cost is $23 billion.

Just 35 percent of those surveyed in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they backed including money for the wall in a congressional spending bill. Only 25 percent said they supported Trump shutting down the government over the matter.

The 33% who blame the Democrats in Congress...are the same 33% of ignorant, Trump-at-any-cost people who are making American a swamp again.

As much as democracy and the American voter are disparaged by the reactionary and authoritarian reich wing, sometimes you just have to say that the American voter is wiser than they are sometimes given credit for.

The American voter knows Trump is to blame for the shutdown,
and the American voter made the wise and correct choice in voting for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump to the tune of millions of votes.

That is true.

If not for 77,000 idiots in Wisconsin, upper Michigan and Pennsylvania, the real choice of American voters would right now be guiding our country with a steady hand rather than careening off the WH walls in fits of constant paranoid rage while doing Putin's bidding, like what we got stuck with is doing.

And the puppets buy into that shit.

Amazing that they can be that self-deluded.

No self-esteem at all for them.

They are the poorly-educated that Drumpf always talks about. After all, you got to be a fucking moron to vote for a fucking moron.

A majority of people once thought the earth was flat. Your appeals to the populace mean little except that it reveals your tendency to resort to fallacy

Dumbass Trump supporters still think that.

Anti-Trumpers believe tweets and memes swayed the election they single-handedly lost.

Are you saying Trump did not tell Pelosi, and Schumer, that he would "proudly" take the blame for a shutdown?
