I'm not convinced it's a bluff. As an outsider looking in, I'm going to tell you how I see this sort of situation.
The Republicans have embraced the Trump way of just accepting you're the bad guy, knowing your diehards will vote for you anyway. Whereas the Democratic members and voters expect responsibility from their party leaders.
So in a shutdown, the Republicans lose nothing, and the Democrats can lose everything.
