WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday the Senate will not consider bills Democrats plan to vote on in the House on Thursday that would end the government shutdown but not include President Donald Trump's demand for $5 billion for a border wall.

"The Senate will not waste its time considering a Democratic bill which cannot pass this chamber and which the president will not sign," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

Leaving out the wall issue, Pelosi has added provisions to the democrat bills that guarantee they won't pass. She doesn't want the government reopened. She thinks they are winning.

McConnel and the congressional Republicans had the last 2 years to get the funding for the border wall done, they did nothing. Not only are the Democrats against us, the establishment Republicans are too.
