7. Nah, he'll get pummeled to death if he goes

8. The last time he shut down the government, it killed him.

His approval ratings plummeted and he caved after airports started shutting down.

Look at what happened to his approval in January. That was when he shut the government down.

9. This is a dream come true for Democrats, and would put huge pressure on Republicans to override

Trump’s veto and reopen the government.

10. If he does shut down the government, Congress should

impeach and convict him. No investigation needed. He just shut down the government in a blackmail scheme to stop the House from impeaching him. That's obstruction.
