The crap we're in for in the near future

17. Well, they're angry with Schumer for what they may feel is betrayal.

They went out on a limb, defending their party to the hilt against everyone, maintaining that the shutdown was not the fault of the Democrats, that this was a Republican shutdown, that the Republicans are in total control, that the Dems have no control over the budget, that Trump reneged on the DACA deal he'd made with Schumer & Graham, etc.

Then all of a sudden, Schumer gets a "promise" to debate something on the floor...and moving up the CHIP funding to be in this bill. Making all of the rank and file protestations in defense of the Dem Party a joke. This "deal" makes it appear to some that the Dems were in fact the ones holding things up, that it was their shutdown all along.

So they're angry at the one who left 'em at the dance, holding a bag of doggie poo. McConnell was never AT their dance, so not mad at McConnell. McConnell laid a trap and got a bite, is all that he did. Typical Repub manipulation.

In some ways, what happened is not that different from some people jumping on board the Republican trap to oust Franken. Some people just don't seem to be very savvy about Republican manipulation.

But the anger is temporary. It'll blow over, IMO. They're expressing their anger at the one(s) who left 'em at the dance. They're not going to be protesting at the house of someone who didn't bring 'em to the dance.
