Fair question, as many Democrats criticized republicans for causing temporary shut downs in the past, even going so far as blaming racism for not blindly supporting Obama's agenda.

If you do support a shut down, what has changed for you?

The media crucified Republicans for the last shutdown. Let’s see how they handle this upcoming one...

I'm sure they'll try, but that's pretty impossible given the circumstances. Democrats are demanding reinstatement of a program that was stopped in September, and must find a legislative solution to permanently address it.

Trump seems to have more than a few things on his wish list that could be used as bargaining chips by level headed people.

Beautiful. You even called someone else a dumbass before making your ignorant statement.

Who wants to tell him?

The impact of the last shut down was oversold by the media. They will probably try to downplay it this time.

Trump should give a major Speech, and replete with documented Statistics...INFORM the American Electorate exactly who the "Dreamers" are. He should give statistical breakdowns on the % of felons, welfare/Government subsidy recipients and as well those who are responsible and contribute toward paying the tax burdens which enable Social Security, Medicare and other Government Subsidies to our CITIZENS. He should point out to the degree that these new Immigrants burden those Programs, those Programs will have to be cut proportionally so.

Let the Dems choose who they serve, and the defend the price that will be paid for taking on unlimited numbers of unemployable Immigrants. Unemployables who ultimately will be able to VOTE, and vote for the Dem Party who will cut them checks from the Citizenry who earned that money.

Spell it out. Let it rip.

Not middle America.

I can see how them shutting down the government for this could help republicans in mid terms.
