If the Republicans ACTUALLY held all the cards, there wouldnt be a shut down.

*Schumer Shutdown*

IKR?

It's so much worse than the 13 consecutive threads started by CP on the thread listings this morning.

Quote:45% of voters say they’d blame Republicans in Congress for a government shutdown, while only 32% say they’d blame Democrats in Congress.

The Lincoln Project,

While the founders of The Lincoln Project were long-time Republicans and self-identified conservatives—many shaped by Reagan-era ideals—their actions and alliances have made the group left-leaning in practice. They were not leftists by origin, but their endorsement of Democrats, anti-Trump messaging, and reliance on liberal donors have aligned them more with the center-left politically

It's TDS, Redbanksdog. That's what they've got. And frankly, it makes me think they just want to keep the problems we had been facing since before Trump announced in 2015 going just so they can keep making money off of them. It's all a big grift for these TDS-riddled RINOS.

Also, Eli Yokley worked for left-wing site the Daily Beast. Take that for what you will, folks.

WTF does that have to do with the fact that, again, Republicans can't govern?

Why do you guys let these idiots ruin every thread?

Who says we're letting them ruin it? lol

Quote: BREAKING: Chuck Schumer says he tried to guilt-trip President Trump in the Oval Office, bringing up a child with cancer while demanding Trump back his spending plan that funds illegal alien healthcare and trans surgeries for kids.

"I told him how I met a mother who was crying because her daughter has cancer...and what they have done, she's gonna watch her suffer and maybe die. And he seemed to understand the magnitude of this crisis."

ILLEGAL ALIENS on healthcare is NOT bipartisan, Chuck!

You should be ASHAMED for trying to pin a child suffering cancer on Republicans!

I really hope it shuts down so that over 100k deep state resigns or gets fired and then move out of VA.

And infect conservative run areas with their progressive stupidity? Hard pass.

John Thune could make the Senate work like it was designed.

Not sure what you mean, but very doubtful that Thune could get 50 votes (+ Vance) to pass it on the floor of the Senate, if all 47 D’s are unanimous in opposition.

I'm sure he could get 50 votes.

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Thom Tillis are “no” in that circumstance. That leaves 49 in favor.

Tillis immune to pressure now that he is not running again.

Figure out exactly what each of the 4 wants and the one with the best bid gets what they want. Collins and Murkowski are subject to influence. Don't know what Tillis's deal is. Paul would probably rather see the government shut down and save money.

They can move to Maryland, New York, California, and be in a liberal utopia.
