Mitch and Ryan could have owned this dude. Ryan ran away and Mitch is slinking away in the bushes.
Given that every poll - even Rasmussen - shows his approval rating steadily declining as the shutdown continues, and that a growing majority blames him (and Congressional Republicans) for the shutdown, it's going to take a hell of an offer to turn things around for him at this late date. Even then I'm not sure it will work. Pelosi and the Dems really have him over a barrel on this one. I guess we'll see if he can wiggle (with McConnell's help) out of his tightest spot yet. It is rather fitting, I suppose, that a liberal woman - Pelosi - has emerged as the most formidable domestic opponent he's faced yet in his presidency. Right now, she's holding the cards.
Photos of the protest obtained by local news stations showed dozens of TSA employees with signs calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to hold votes on bills passed by the House to reopen parts of the government.
You are making some pretty big assumptions that he gives a single fuck. The racist assholes that provide him with his daily affirmations aren’t wavering, so why would he? He doesn’t care that the government is shut down. That would require empathy.
Oh, did I miss the announcement?
Trump offers half-assed “compromise”.
Sort of like a husband saying to his wife, “hey, if you let me have these five affairs now I’ll be faithful for a little while afterwards”.
Makes sense to him.
