60. I Must Respectfully Disagree With You

We all knew this was coming from Project 2025. They made their plans well known.

It appears to me that the Republicans are willing to bully people to get their way, but don't want the smoke that comes from it. Witness their reticence in appearing in town halls to irate constituents.

I fully understand that it is indeed a losing battle since the Dems are not in the majority. But that doesn't mean they have to get the cover for their incompetence. House Democrats know full well what a shutdown entails and how it would hurt their districts. But they voted "no" anyway.
Schumer owes them that much for their courage. The question that comes to mind is: What would Mitch McConnell do? We all know he'd threaten to unleash hell if didn't get his way. And even when he got his way, he did it anyway.

Schumer is trying to "make a deal" with Trump and Republicans who aren't interested in making one. If they want to burn it all down, at the least make them own it.
