Total Trump Victory' As Spending Bill Passes, Killing Far Left Hopes for a Gov't Shutdown
Townhall ^ | March 14, 2025 | Matt Vespa

The first cloture vote didn’t clinch 60, so the House GOP’s continuing resolution, which was passed on a party-line vote, remained in legislative limbo. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered his ‘Republicans don’t have the votes’ bit, only to cave less than 36 hours later. After another drawn-out process that engulfed the Hill in chaos, he voted for cloture this afternoon—the Democrats are a total mess.

The Democratic Party is in chaos.

I didn’t care which way the vote went. Trump’s bill approved = win. Gov’t shut down for a few days while Trump beats the Dems silly = win.

so chuckle told them to vote for it, yet chuckie didn’t vote for it?

I read only two dems, one from NH and one from ME voted for it. Rand Paul voted against but still at 54 yes votes it passed.

“The Democratic Party is in chaos.”

Schumer, to his credit, realized that this potential shutdown was not going to play NEARLY AS WELL for the Dems as the prior shutdowns, so he folded early. The other Dems, not nearly as smart as Schumer, still cannot figure this out. Very similar when the smarter Republican leaders realize that it’s time to fold.

...and to think, if Thomas Massie got his way, instead of Trump’s GREATEST victory so far, Trump and the Republicans would be the LAUGHING STOCK of the country.

Now, now, let’s be magnanimous: President Trump courageously helped Senate Democrats align with Trump’s mandate in a victory for the American people!

Yes. Paul is a big disappointment. He will never be a team player, but at least he can console himself while tilting at windmills.

Apart from Chuck the Shumck caving, I do not see it as a win. Shut the government down—but it really never shuts down as 85% remains operative,what Rush Limbaugh called the “essential services.” If it can run on only “essential services,” what is the rest of the government doing? Answer: collecting an unnecessary paychecks at the expense of non-goverment people, i.e. the rest of us.

Has some black robed tyrant co-president nullified the congressional votes yet? They’re stomping all over the other branch day and night.
I wouldn’t put it past them if they tried.

If there were a shutdown, I think Trump would have also won.

Exactly. That is the genius of Trump’s moves. He put them in an I win, You lose, situation.
