How Long will Democrats Stand Firm on the Government Shutdown and what will they say?

I give it a week.

They will claim they are saving people from chaos and pain, yet will not successful pin the coming cuts on Republicans.

You sound like you expect Democrats to concede? You do know Democrats had zero input in all of this? It is the pukes who will give in IMO.

That will be seen as weak and Democrats giving up on their fight for health insurance affordability.

They are doing what we want them to do, they are right on with their messaging. Even the MSM is correcting R lies in real time.

republicans have enough members to pass it on their own, but are in such disarray that they can't even get their own members to vote for this turd.

I hope they hang any cooperation on release of the Epstein files and leaving healthcare costs alone.

But we shall see. I hope they surprise me.
