Everyone is a prisoner of their perception of 1995 -which is that the GOP got ALL of the blame and it was a disaster for them. What idiots....let’s review:
1 In 1995: The GOP had both houses of Congress.
2 There was a much smaller Rush Limbaugh Show.
3 There was no Mark Levin Show.
4 There was no Sirius XM Patriot Network, nor most of the now big talk shows.
5 There was no conservative internet to speak of.
6 Drudge was much smaller than today.
7 The Jurassic Media was still riding high.
8 People actually believed when the Govt shut down, the govt shut down, and we know now everyone always gets their back pay.
9 There was no tea party.
10 The GOP speaker had a name that sounded a lot like Grinch.
These libs are fighting the last war. This never works. MAY MY DAY.
speaking of shut downs... the next CR should include “NO BACK PAY” on shutdowns.
It works when the Republicans cave.
You forgot to mention that GOP constituents trusted their representatives not to stab them in the back in 1995.
