UPDATE: Sen. John Kennedy predicts Chuck Schumer will CAVE on the government shutdown — “He’s gonna be forced to go to a 6 or 8 of his Democratic Senate colleagues and say, Look, I need a favor.”

“Vote to get me out of this shutdown. He's gonna tell 'em, ‘Now, look, I gotta vote no. And I gotta dogcuss you a little bit. We gotta have some play acting and make this look good. And then we come out of the shutdown’ and vote to end it.”
