    Maybe it really was the smaller loss in a lose/lose situation.

    If it was the smaller loss, republicans wouldn’t have voted for it.

        Idk how you can blame the Democrats for a shutdown when Republicans control all three bodies that can avert it

          Even you perceive Schumer as the person who decided whether or not to go ahead with the shutdown, or else you wouldn’t blame him for not shutting down the government.

            “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” Letting tthe Republicans shoot themselves in the foot is very different than giving them everything they want on a silver platter.
