Schumer Shutdown™ just did not work out well at all for Democrats. At the end of the day, they got almost nothing that they wanted. They got pwned and pantsed!
After weeks of posturing, sound bites, and hashtags, Senate Democrats folded like a cheap lawn chair. The government will reopen after a handful of Democrats finally agreed to vote with Republicans to end the shutdown—without giving Chuck Schumer and his caucus anything close to a win.
So they get a vote on Obamacare subsidies within 40 days. And they shut down government and made people suffer for THAT? You’ve got to be kidding me!
I guess the other “win” for Democrats is that almost all the scurrying government DC vermin will now be re-hired. But those folks would not have been fired in the first place if Democrats had not insisted on a shutdown! So meh…
And it showed just how irrelevant most of those position actually are. That is a very heavy self-inflicted wound for Democrats!
