I agree. But the fact remains, that we have never prevailed in public opinion in one single shutdown. Not one. We have a razor thin majority and a shutdown would be a bad thing at this moment and would hurt us.

If you have a 38 snub in your pocket and some stick up man has a gun in your ribs, you better to pretend to cooperate for a minute. And when you see that one magic moment of inattention, draw and pop him.
Our magic moment was to wait until after the election.

90% of America just wants the morphine drip of stability. Don’t change a thing in the middle of an election.
This is the equivalent of Rick Scott in the 22 election. Right after we won overturning Roe vs Wade in June of 22, we were all saying now it was all sent to the states.
Rick Scott rolls in in early October and says now we need a FEDERAL law forbidding it. 5 weeks before the election, he decided it was the perfect time to inflame slut culture.

I don’t like it either, but for 90% of America, it would be “Republicans shut down the government”, and the news would be filled wall to wall with military people in breadlines, all the parks would close, the FAA would all close the control towers, etc.

This is a time to just be stable for a few short months, then pull the 38 when Trump gets back in. If he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter anyway.

The problem with that logic is that they are using U.S. government funds to rig the election. That is happening through government funding to import millions of illegals, register them to vote, mail in ballots delivered through the USPS< etc. It's a big problem, which Johnson just ignored and hoped would go away until after election day. It's not going to go away. He needed to have a bigger pair than what he has shown.
