Many conservatives don't trust Democrats to play ball after they win a leverage battle, but Trump's hand has been weakened by members of his own party who are feeling the heat back home. Shutdowns, no matter how partial or limited they may be, are not popular. Further strengthening Nancy Pelosi's hand is the apparent solidarity of her team in this battle.
