In reply to the discussion: Schumer and the Dems who voted 'yes' own what Trump does for the next six months [View all]PortTack
(35,816 posts)26. They certainly did.
The tsf and muskrat wanted a shut down. Who knows how long the shut down wouldve lasted. It would fall to the republicans to decide how much more pain they want to inflict with a shut down. Government employees either furloughed because of the shut down, or working with no pay would leave cause no one can go without pay for weeks on end. Wed be doing their dirty work for them. Their goal as we know is to skeletonize the government even further.
Very unfortunately it was a win either way for them and either way a loss for the American ppl.
Dont bash me for putting these facts out there!

I disagree. There's no world where the GOP is going to be more eager to reopening the govt than the Dems
