    Unfortunately everyone suffers and Republicans don’t get blamed by their voters when the government shuts down. They just blame the Dems for not negotiating with the terrorists.

    Did any of their voters care the last few times they shut the government down?

      I didn’t explain myself. Let it shutdown and make counter demands. Demand to change the Antideficiency Act so that budgets can never shutdown the government again. Don’t give in, even if it takes 6 months or more. It will be difficult, but sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. /s

        The problem is that Republicans don’t care about the destruction this would cause and the livelihoods that would be ruined. Democrats do. That’s why Republicans have leverage. They’ll shoot the hostage every time.
