Ms. Eshoo, Democrat and Republican congresspersons are equally responsible for the shutdown and for our current travesty of a government. BTW why do Congress members keep getting paid during a shutdown since they are the ones responsible the shut down.

"“It is a source of embarrassment to run a great country this way," Eshoo said."
The embarrassment is that all of our elected "leaders" are unwilling to stand up and confront an incompetent President.

Which makes them incompetent as well. I personally disagree with either side holding the appropriations process hostage for partisan gain. I have a feeling that the dems might have gone a bit too far on this one, as the sentiment of the entire country as a whole does not support this particular cause (i.e. DACA). Same thing if Republicans were to shut down the government over a wall.

It's beyond embarrassing. It's tragic. Our elected leaders are more concerned about party before country.

It is time for Eshoo to step aside and let someone more pro active take her place as our Representative in Congress.
