Tough poll for Democrats on a shutdown.https://t.co/R6HpXz6oXl pic.twitter.com/3Hz1Muxlad

The Schumer shutdown has begun. Congressional Democrats want $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and refunding of National Public Radio. I’m not kidding—they shut down the government for those items. Oh, and to gut the rural health care fund, which they slammed Republicans for starving it of resources, only for the GOP to allocate monies toward it, and now they want it repealed. These aren’t serious people. No doubt, the Schumer shutdown is a catchy phrase. It should be the point of the lance, but then pin them for wanting to give illegal aliens health care.
The Senate likely votes around 5:30 pm et on two test votes to break filibusters on the Democratic and GOP government funding bills.

Both need 60 yeas.
Neither will reach that threshold.
The procedural vote related to the Democrats’ package comes first.
This is a re-vote of…

This move is classic Democrat overreach: they’ve overestimated their hand. The shutdown doesn’t really impact most Americans. Do you know who is? Government workers, who are also likely to be Democratic voters, will not be pleased about being furloughed. Voters don’t want the government to increase spending or shut down. Democrats are now fighting for both, so whoever is leading the political strategy sessions on the Hill for Democrats needs to be fired.

Listen closely to these words of wisdom. Democrats couldn’t write a worse playbook than this.

The advantage is with the GOP. Everyone knows it, and even liberal pundits realize they’re going to cave. Democrats are still more unpopular than Trump; they have legislative items that aren’t popular, and the GOP war room should be hammering home that this shutdown was caused because Democrats want to coddle illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.

SCHUMER SHUTDOWN FAILURE

The shutdown will last a few days. The Senate is adjourned for Yom Kippur, and it’s unlikely any headway will be made over the weekend.
Democrats shut down the government because they want more money for illegal aliens. That’s the crux of it.

In the meantime, the Trump administration plans to wield a hatchet against the bureaucracy.

Trump: So the last thing we want to do is shut it down. But a lot of good can come down from shutdowns. We can get rid of a lot of things that we didn't want, and they'd be Democrat things

Last Note: Republicans, hold the line here.
Republicans should force Democrats to filibuster 24/7 until a clean CR is signed.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
