Inside the US Capitol, Democrats firmly lined up behind Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as he unveiled the party’s official demands on Wednesday to rein in Trump’s Department of Homeland Security. Behind the scenes, several of Schumer’s Democrats rebuffed efforts by the White House to privately discuss off-ramps for a shutdown, insisting that Republicans must come to the table instead of trying to peel off centrist Democrats like the last shutdown.
Even confronted with the prospect of a shutdown of three-quarters of the government starting Saturday, many Democrats were unwavering – buoyed by a belief that the country’s patience for the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics have run out.
“I am just so sick of them ignoring it all because Donald Trump might give them a spanking,” Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Democrat from Nevada, said.
I have to doubt that Democrats are really all that bouyant over the idea of yet another shutdown, so soon. Especially since this time it will be specifically to protect criminal aliens and rioters.
If they have momentum going into November of this year, they could lose it if they are perceived as the party of taking the ball and running instead of playing fair.
Also, why is spanking always the first thing that comes to mind for them?
What do you think? Yes, or no?
