Snap won't move anything.  Solid voting Ds will stay Ds.  Solid voting Rs will stay Rs.  Reps that feel heat on their reelection will the ones that fold.  Question remains, what side tips first?

Data doesn’t support this - republicans still firmly more to blame as of now.

6 points say it’s the republicans fault

7 point disadvantage for republicans

Even newsmax confirms it a 6 point disparity.

So what you’re saying is this has nothing to do with any actual responsibility and is entirely producing campaign fodder for a mid term electing cycle… noted.

Is that what I said? Huh… noted.

Virtually no one here, to include you, has addressed the reasons this shutdown exists with the exception of many that feel sMaRT because they can regurgitate standard issue, entirely baseless, propaganda about desires to fund illegal immigrant healthcare.

Please feel free to enlighten us all with the reasons for the shutdown.

@Banzai Let us know when a dem introduces the legally required resolution for her to be sworn in by a judge, another not-the-speaker congressman, etc. Has it happened and I missed it? It is that easy, so why isn’t a dem doing it? Did I miss that happening and the GOP shut it down?

I’d rather not, why don’t you just go ahead and google that yourself. Or do you have to be told what to think?

How can someone introduce a resolution is the house is literally never opened? That’s the problem, buckeroo, probably something you aren’t aware of.

Now if you’d like to walk the dog down your “logical” path and explain how it is justified that the house isn’t open during a government shutdown that is dependent on congress as a whole passing legislation to fund the government, would love for you to try to stumble your way through that mental exercise. I predict you probably aren’t interested.

Indeed, it's a little more difficult to maintain that air of superiority when challenged to express your opinion and the reasoning for it rather than just take supercilious pot shots at those who have the cojones to do so.

Fraud.
