Many Democrats believe the White House is bluffing and insist Republicans will bear responsibility for a shutdown in the public eye because the GOP controls the government.
The Trump administration is expecting a government shutdown come Wednesday and there are no current plans to negotiate with Democratic leadership, according to a senior White House official.
“We’re going to extract maximum pain,” said the official, granted anonymity to discuss political strategy, adding that Democrats “will pay a huge price for this.”
The comments underscore the White House’s belief that Democrats will be blamed for a shutdown and its ripple effects, which could include mass layoffs across the federal government.
ok? not sure what you are getting at.
my point being that the democrats are either spineless, or complicit. that chuck recently went on tv. The reporter, who was only desperately trying to get him to show spine and use leverage against republicans, ultimately failed in the most pathetic whimpering since shumers “nasty” letter pointing at trumps low numbers when democrats were even lower.
what a fucking joke.
