CNN Republican strategist Rick Santorum met his match on Sunday when he tried to tell three women experts that Donald Trump is not to blame for the government shutdown over funding for the president's border wall.
During a panel discussion on CNN's State of the Union, Santorum insisted that Trump was not going to reopen the government until the Democrats give in on border wall funding.
"I don't think there is any question: on a policy side, there is a deal to be made," Santorum told the group. "The question is whether there's a deal to be made politically."
"The Democrats don't want to give the president a win on this issue," he opined. "And if that's the case, if they're that dug in, we're going to be here for a long time because I don't think the president is going to back down. [They will have to give him] at least some colorable money that can be used for wall funding."
"I think he is clear that some wall money is necessary and it's really up to the Democrats," he added.
"No, he is not right," Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), one of three Democratic women on the panel, said of Santorum.
