Rex was wrong again. Trump got the government reopened and didn't give up anything that I can see.

quote:

They need 9 Dems to vote.

Precisely my point. Trump couldn't negotiate his way to getting their consent. They walked away. Fart of the Deal.

This is the first time the GOP has whipped the Dems arse in a governmental strategic maneuver in a long time.
And yet this is essentially the same spineless GOP Congress we've had for years. I'm guessing Trump wasn't as disengaged as the MSM would like us to believe.

Schumer had to show the far left wing he wasn't going to be Trump's bitch. Still didn't work out.

If they are journalists then they are being highly unprofessional (Left and Right) if they are discussing their personal opinions on this on Twitter. They are supposed to be objective and solely discuss the facts. If they are opinion writers then this is acceptable.

Glad that everyone survived the great shutdown of 2018. What a terrible two and half days.

DACA is not even in this and democrats are too stupid to realize it. DACA expires in March.

Schumer is smarter than these journalists. He knows it is a loser but was playing chicken with the GOP thinking they would blink first. Didn’t happen. At this point he is stopping the bleeding by keeping the shutdown as short as possible.


Traditionally it was the right play since the Republicans have always caved.

You knew this was coming. I even started a thread over the weekend about him sounding like Trump broke him during his speech Saturday.

it was for liberals...they took a beating in the press over the weekend and knew it was only going to get worse the longer they held out and they had mid-terms to deal with, that is the only reason #schumercaved so quickly...

If liberals were winning the narrative and everyone was blaming Trump and the republicans for this they would still be holding out...

He is celebrating because he got the Rs to agree on a DACA deal by the end of this CR. Unfortunately for Chucky, we have video evidence of Rs agreeing to that during the meeting with Trump before all this.

So he got nothing and looked like a fool doing it.

Now let's get ready for 2/8 when Chucky and his useless gang try to pass some over the top DACA bill and he gets shutdown again.

Cannot believe the number of bodies pilled up at the end of my road - hope the dumb-trucks come soon to get them out of here - buzzards are already circling.

Yeah, god forbid they shut down for a weekend. How did it change my life? Nothing. What a fricking joke.
