Trump wanted a shut down. He could then gut everything including the courts. Schumer did the right thing. Even though the bill is horrible, a shutdown would be much worse.

If this is true, Schumer, at the very least, played this issue very poorly. The Democratic voters had been primed for a shutdown. The consequences of a shutdown should have been known by party leadership for weeks. To pull this stunt at the last minute was really stupid move.
I agree. The government would never have reopened again and many agencies would have been shuttered indefinitely. Also would have given them ample info for what employees can be terminated if they were non essential. He had no good options
