Guess who gains if the CR fails? [View all]

trump gains more power. Blame the propagandized voters. I don't get the simple non-working solutions folks think the Dems should use. And it is not the Dems fault. Why don't folks attack the dumb propagandized voters who voted their hate? The rich bought up the media (TV, radio stations) blasting RW talk radio for decades. Too many folks do not know what happened going back to Reagan and rush limbaugh.
