David Feldman: The risk of Dems' shutting down the gov't and Repub's will blame & take advantage...he may have a point [View all]

"Not sure this is the hill Democrats should be dying on"

"voters need to see at least for the first 100 days who these Republicans are, they need to be reminded, and I worry that shutting down the government over 8 billion dollars may cloud the issue...

"this is the most dangerous Republican party in American history and you don't give them and inch, but what if the inch you're giving them is enough rope to hang themselves...."

"my gut tells me a government shut down would be a disaster for Democrats"

"I could be wrong but who's to say the government would open back up?"

"I just can't see Schumer will allow the government to shut down and serving up a gov't shut down on a silver plate for Trump
to blame Democrats with"
