7. His lack of verve over the shutdown's end certainly merits notice

I wrote a post titled "Trump won the Shutdown," but now I'm wondering.

In any case, it seems pretty clear that Dems have handled the shutdown's end very well: releasing the three Epstein emails on the same day as Grijalva's swearing in and finalization of the Epstein discharge petition was a stroke of genius, you ask me. It provided another news item next to the shutdown's end, and muted the GOP crowing. Pretty good.

Maybe the Dems are finally learning about contemporary media cycles?
