Dems don’t like shutting the government down. They know that Trump’s base is fine with it.
IIRC, after the last “slowdown”, the Dems were complaining it cost the Government $40 Billion.
Uh, no morons. It saved the taxpayers $40 Billion. And nobody even knew that 17% of the government was closed. Only those who spent years and money planning a visit to national parks and monuments were affected.
Shut ‘er down.
The government shut-down during the Clinton years was viewed as a win by the Dems.
That’s why they went for the shut-down during Obama’s term. And, that (banned swear-word adjectives) Obama vengefully used the shutdown as an excuse to inflict maximum pain on the deplorables. Remember when he set up guards to keep 90-year-old veterans from visiting the War Memorials? Or when he had Rangers shooing away people outside some National Parks for taking scenic pictures, because that was deemed Park Recreation?
I don’t think a shut-down this time will be a Dem win. Trump should push hard for DACA with border control (and wall) AND some chain migration control. Otherwise, what’s the point?
