Usually don’t see Rav go into spin mode but desperate times I guess. 9 Days till a GOP shutdown.
Desperate times. Sure, kid. We've got control of the country. Trump still has an average approval rating near what Obama had for most of his second term in spite of vastly more negative media coverage. You've got a very weak candidate bench with one of the most abysmal midterm election comeback prospects in ages.
Our sticking points on the shutdown are campaign promises that got Trump elected. Your sticking point is a program that even Obama said would be temporary, along with a leaked memo that said you mainly need the DACA kids for the sake of your future voting base.
I'm glad to know that Republicans automatically get the blame for every shutdown even with it's the Dems doing the same thing you were screaming about Republicans doing before, though. It really brings out that blind, partisan flair.
