6. Not the point at all

Mon Nov 17, 2025, 11:06 AM

Monday

I don't see the poll getting bad results, the GOP won when the 8 caved.
The point is, is this the issue? Who "won" the shutdown. Or should the media, maybe, just maybe, focus on the results of the shut down on the American people.
Was the main issues that the Nazis "won" in 1932, or the Khmer Rouge "won" in 1975, was that the important story?
