It's not just Pelosi v. the President.  The whole thing can be completely resolved if 20 republican senators and 55 republican members of the House decide to override Trump's veto and open the government.

That is a pretty reliable source of information. Pelosi also told Nielsen that she wasn't "interested in her facts" in a previous hearing. The reason we are at day 29 is because of zero compromise by the Democrats. If they meet in the middle, they can still convince their base "they won". Again, they are playing a losing hand here. Middle America wants border security.

I'm pretty sure polling data says you're very wrong.  Trump is being blamed for the shutdown by  2 to 1 and a narrow majority says "no" to the idea of a wall at the border.
