Relevant again today. The money quote: "the side that has consistently gotten the shorter end of the stick during shutdowns is the members of Congress who oppose the president."

No, its the side that opposes the mainstream media, whichever side it takes.

Still, show some guts. If its for a good cause, we’ll back you.

Prior examples now hold little value as precedent. The Trump dynamic is unique because he has no allies in government. Both sides want him to fail. Plus, today’s media is completely controlled by radical leftists.

Trump never should have allowed himself to be snookered into the omnibus disaster where he had to choose between terrible and disastrous: sign it and completely alienate his base or veto it and cause a shut down that would be 100% blamed on him by both sides. He needed to be well ahead of the process the whole way. Instead, he sat back, did nothing for weeks, then found a 2,220 page monstrosity dumped on his desk the day before the deadline.

If Republican leadership continues to sabotage him, we will have lost our last chance to save this country. There is simply no way we can continue to absorb all these immigrants while creating trillions of dollars in cash out of thin air.

The Republicans should be working on the next spending bill as soon as they get back from break and they are in desperate need of finding someone who can handle messaging. Sure, it’s hard to control the talking points with the media completely against you. By that’s all the more reason why it has to be done effectively.
