It is a shame it takes a shutdown but do be it! I hope it gets republicans to stop and negotiate!! Of course, they will and already are planing the Democrats!! I just hate that it hurts our government workers and the military who have to do w/o their pay.

This is going to get negotiated. I expect the White House and Senate will come to a deal pretty fast, but the House Republicans will be the problem (as usual).---Jason

Finally! The top echelon is figuring out that one does NOT cave to a bully - it only feeds that monster. Stand up and take them on, and usually you'll find that others will back you up - that strength in numbers thing happens when others see a bully not being kowtowed to.

"A shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means a president is weak." ~ DJT 2013

It is encouraging to see Senate Democrats finally understand the playing field that exists with this administration and the need to stand up to it. However, it does sadden me that my own Senator Cortez-Masto feels it is better to cave in these situations.

Does this make sense? It seems like a no- brainer to me. Congress is supposed to work for the people, not the president. Healthcare is something that should be part of every spending bill. It's been that way for nearly twenty years. However, I believe we are experiencing the attempted formation of a facist regime by the president and his lackeys. The Dems in Congress have the power to thwart at least a measure of it. This budget fight is a test of wills. Opposition to it is critical for the Dems to regain some measure of control over those in the majority before the midterm elections.

The shut down will quickly get under delusional don's skin which will spur him into more cray cray decisions. Be warned. He is truly disordered and dangerous. His ideas are escalating into all out efforts at total control. The dems showing spine could speed don's mental decline. Fingers crossed!
