“The real glory in all of this is that President Trump for once does not get all the credit for the GOP finally, at long last, doing the right thing. The happy fact is that every leader in the congressional GOP played his role perfectly. Speaker Paul Ryan had his congressional chamber pass the bill that set the tone – with bi-partisan support – on Thursday, and then promptly adjourned the House and sent everyone home so they would not be around to gum up the works any further. Perfect.”

No, they’re not all finally on the Trump Train, but they are learning. This shutdown would not have happened a year ago, or even six months ago. This is progress, and it’s very important for the midterm elections.
