A government shutdown could be a good thing IF the Republicans stick together. But there’s the RINO factor. I predict RINO’s will muck up the works. They don’t want to be drained.

Trump will use it to point out how many non-essential services the government is providing.

Very good article! This would be a perfect opportunity to defund Sanctuary Cities, PBS and the study of how the fruit fly has sex.

How the hell do the dims shut down the government when they do not control the Congress or the White House? How do they yield this type of power? If they can shut the government down, what other harm can they do?

Unlike the Obama shutdown, there will not be guards at the National Monuments scaring people away.

Well there was a bunch of us that told Obama's bastards who was boss during that shut down on October 13, 2013:

Congressional pay (Senators, Reps and all staffers) should cease until a budget, not a continuing resolution, is passed. No lost pay made up. They didn’t do their jobs, they shouldn’t get the pay!

Yes, that is one of my Marine sons (I have 2 - both USMC) looking at the camera holding the barrier on our way to the White House to dump it off. I was marching along side and took his picture.

Do you believe Ryan and his RINO cohorts would vote to overturn a Trump veto of a spending bill that does not include Wall funding?

Not in a million years.

It would be suicide by stupidity.

“I am one of many conservatives who see the wall as a yuge waste of money.”

That’s because you are not conservative.

I’m good with a shutdown as long as they STOP paying salaries and benefits to all government employees not working. Let THEM call their DEM rep to complain.

Good article LS. Thanks.

“the media’s ongoing inability to understand Trump as the ultimate outsider..”

The msm and demoncrats will spin anything Trump does as bad as it can get. We will see how this plays out with the media.

But as you say, “More important, every minute the bloated government is shut down reinforces the perception of Trump as a businessman who cuts the fat, extracts more efficiency, and makes the U.S. government more like a business.”
