If we go for the shutdown, which doesn’t stop Obamacare, we have to be willing to endure the pain until Democrats choose to defund Obamacare in exchange for funding the rest of their government beast.
“If we go for the shutdown...”
“We” have nothing to do with any shutdown, only the President and Senate majority can cause a shutdown
