Talking the talk, not walking the walk

This morning on Face the Nation, Speaker Ryan said: “…If you want to get these problems solved, open up the government, resume negotiations, and let's solve these problems.”

By that logic, why not bring a bill to reopen the government to the Floor? Democrats have asked 10 times that the House take up a bill to end the Trump shutdown. How did it go? Here’s a reminder:
 
  1. Mr. Hoyer asked last night – Republicans said no.
  2. Mr. Cicilline asked last night – Republicans said no.
  3. Mr. Hoyer asked again today – Republicans said no.
  4. Mr. Pocan asked today – Republicans said no.
  5. Ms. Jackson Lee asked today – Republicans said no.
  6. Mr. Raskin asked today – Republicans said no.
  7. Ms. Kuster asked today – Republicans said no.
  8. Ms. Schakowsky asked today – Republicans said no.
  9. Mr. Lieu asked today – Republicans said no.
  10. Ms. Jayapal asked today – Republicans said no.
