There was some buzz that the GOP were going to try to push the shut-down away from Trump's 100th day marker (by a week) to save some face. Go ahead, ask why. Yeah, I don't know why either. The AHCA fiasco pretty much showed that apart from "no" the GOP doesn't know how to get anything together, and they most certainly don't line up behind the Corporate Raider in Chief.
My boss said it pretty well the morning after the election: "Let's just keep working and hope that noone needs anything from the government for the next four years."

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
"Being told to be 'open minded' about something is usually a code for 'you're not going to like this, but I want to subject you to it anyway'. Conversely, being told that you are 'closed-minded' is generally a means of asserting that 'I don't like the fact that you're proving me wrong, so I will pretend that your failure to agree with my argument is a philosophical deficiency'." - RationalWiki
