So how do people see this shutdown ending? (Keep in mind whatever your views on the reality of the wall and immigration, this is purely a political situation and not a technical one.)

Here are the options as I see them:
  1. Compromise: Trump gets his money, and the Ds get concessions
  2. Trump relents and the government is reopened without a wall.
  3. Trump doesn't relent, but is overruled by Congress and the government is reopened without wall $.
  4. Ds buckle and give him his wall money.
  5. Trump declares a national emergency, diverts military funds, claims victory and allows a bill to pass that reopens the govt.
  6. The government never reopens.
Where do people see this headed? Personally, I'm torn between 5, 3, and 1. If I had to predict, I'd say 5 because he can claim victory and move on from a situation that is seriously damaging him and his party (though I don't think he cares so long as his base is with him).
