The Dims will win big on this. They will engineer the shutdown and pin the blame on Pubbies who will then collapse into a quivering pile of shite and yield to the Dims.
A shut-down is only successful if it’s 20 days or less. If we ever reach a shut-down where things actually do stay shut down for a minimum of 60 days (perhaps even 120 days), then a fair number of people will realize it’s not a big deal....and that we don’t need all these people in DC.
I think Trump wants the shutdown to occur, and he’ll handpick what stays open.
If we make it to 120 days...the people affected probably should go ahead and start looking for work because they probably won’t be coming back.
