Sen. Schumer and MHS Jeffries have been pretty adamant about no reversal on Health Care, no vote for a CR.

The repukes will try to blame the Dems, and the MAGAt faithful will eat it up, but the majority of sensible Americans will see the truth about who's at fault.

I quit watching them way back when, months before their knee-bender at MAL, and there's no going back.

They used the same argument against us ( "Democrats control congress, they can pass what they want" ) previously. I hate that statement that ignores the reality of how the Senate works.

the Senate works. They will blame the majority party.

But all that aside I have yet to see a government shutdown have any impact on an election.

No matter what the plan is for the GOP, Trump will be tweeting, appearing on FOX, yelling from a helicopter pad . . . The dude must be the face of everything
