the Republicans screw things up by following Trump's lead once again.
Just don't say anything at all. Let the Republicans take all the blame, since they'd take the glory if they could.

(12,485 posts)3. Frame it to say to Trump "President Obama wouldn't have the guts to shut down the government,
what president would dare to shut it down for anything?"
That could goad the moronic Trump into a shut down just for spite to continue his "do the opposite of Obama" strategy.
