After a bad start, where aligned media blitz pushed only the Dem position things are starting to swing the GOP way in the shutdown fight.

The more time goes by the more we see the GOP message on a clean CR, a desire to pass an actual budget, with 9 out of the 12 appropriation bills already passed, a desire to keep the DOD open is starting to break through the Dem media advantage. With a series of racist, violent and extremist moves by senior Dem leadership show that the Dems are getting frustrated.

I think as more time goes by the more the Dems look like the problem to most people. This may end up costing them midterm momentum and a few elections they hoped to easily win, in NJ, NYC and VA. I expect 4 or 5 may break for a reopening with a tax cut verbal that the GOP can support.

What is a DOD?

Why are you using outdated liberal terms?

Dems are using the same playbook as before by relying ton MSM to sell their case.

Problem is there are way more forms of media now that negate MSM as well as MSM having a trust issue due to exposed bias. Old playbook doesn’t work with the many facades of information available today.

The Trump administration is winning the social media campaign.

They will come to the table on Monday after the No Kings protest. This entire thing was about Schumer trying to save his seat from AOC.

Only to morons.

Just looking at it for 30 seconds and understanding that the same CR was passed 13x in a row and that the Democrats stuffed it with all the pork with the intention of this shutdown should be simple to grasp for every single American.

But here we are, with half of the country being programmed by the MSM.

Yet another check in the box for a pro-succession argument.

The Democrats were always losing this shutdown.

Schumer allowed AOC to call the shots and Trump eloquently framed the narrative that Democrats are holding out for HealthCare to be extended back to Illegal Aliens.

That's not happening. That's right there with demanding we allow kids to cut off their genitals. Insanity
