No, a bipartisan Bill was agreed upon by both the House and Senate. After a conservative "reporter" called Trump out for the lack of money for the wall Mezico was supposed to pay for, Trump said he wouldn't sign it.
Trump met with Schumer and Pelosi, and said he wouldn't sign anything without $5B for a wall, and that he would own the shutdown.
The Democrats in the House passed funding.
The Senate, controlled by Republicans, refused to bring any of the House bills for a vote based on the President's direction to Republican leadership to send nothing without money for the wall.
The government shut down.
Trump blamed Democrats despite saying he'd own it.
Federal employees didn't get paid. Trump's Commerce Secretary said he didn't know why federal employees were going to food banks instead of taking out a loan. Trump claimed many federal employees had encouraged him to keep the government closed.
The Senate vote of which you posted was nothing more than a dog and pony show, because they knew they didn't have the votes.
Actually, the same question could be asked as to why the Republicans didn't vote for the other bill voted on the same day by Democrats, which would have also opened the government back up, too.
So, the reason Trump owns it is:
1. He said he would.
2. He stopped a bipartisan bill that he had agreed to.
3. He directed the Republican leadership to not permit votes on the bills the Democratic House passed that would have reopened every agency except DHS.
So, yes, Trump owns it.

It has become more about politics and less about what is good for the US as defined under our Constitution. Bills that need to be passed *before* we find out what's in them, Bills with so many riders that the Bill itself has no impact, and all of this without pointing fingers at one party or an other. Washington is its own business that has nothing much to do about any of us anymore. Yet, when a very simple Bill comes through the system, the parties voting don't care about the Bill but what message that may mean in the overall poker game.

SSgt (Join to see) I concur that their loyalties are to party, not constituents.
The riders (pork) are their way to give things to their home states to protect their seat.
It is the fault of voters who, like them, have continued to vote to keep them in office because of a few party-based policy positions.
Everyone who has voted for an incumbant with more than two terms, owns this as much as those in Washington own it.

It has been my experience that voting for incumbents are the only options at the voting booth in November. However, it is also my experience that voting in the primaries you have a plethora of choices *AND* your vote means more as so few actually vote in the primaries. That is where I feel my vote does the best good. And yes, if this is their 3rd term on the ballot they are not voted for by me. It also seems to take about 1 decade to become entrenched so it only makes sense to get them out after just 2 terms.

Ignore the Fox bubble, did you watch Senator Cruz at all?
And I post from more sources than just Fox. I don't watch Fox, CNN, MSNBC, or any of the others. I get fed plenty - in fact way too much - on all the social sites. And here I wanted a discussion on why the Democrats voted NO on paying the Coast Guard.

Look at the bills voted on and not approved.
Time to get an actual comprehensive immigration bill passed.
