Democrats confident they can win government shutdown fight

by David M. Drucker | Jan 16, 2018, 12:01 AM

The federal government barreled toward a partial shutdown Monday as the Democrats in Congress dug in their heels in a battle of political wills with President Trump and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill.

The Democrats are demanding relief from deportation for illegal immigrants who participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as part of a deal to keep the lights on in Washington. It’s risky; the party in the White House tends to win shutdown fights, as Republicans learned in 2013 and previously.

But the Democrats are confident. They are convinced the uproar over Trump’s denigration of immigrants from Haiti and certain African nations by referring to them as coming from “shithole countries” has given them the upper hand in the debate.

Rats believe a $40 minimum wage is viable too.

I can't believe I didn't see the Rats real motivation with the illegal immigration issue. I always assumed they wanted to resolve the status of illegals by giving them citizenship and creating a new group of voters they could count on. It's become clear that their plan is to never resolve the issue so they can indoctrinate the illegal's children, that are born in this country, with the idea that the Pubs are racist and only the Rats care about them. By doing this they have a steady flow of illegals coming into the country whose children become lifelong Rats. They don't want this issue resolved because securing the border and ending chain migration would stem the tide of potential new supporters.

The govt shutdown bluff needs to be called. I'm sure the media will say it's the end of the world, just like they did with tax reform, but the longer it goes on the more people will realilze we can get along just fine without them.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Let them shut it down. Please!

Their confidence stems from the fact that they know the lamestream/mainstream media will never EVAH report anything negative about the DemocRATS.   Something that needs to be changed, drastically and finally.  The political right needs their own "mainstream media" channel.  Fox news just ain't cuttin it.

Don't throw me into that there briar patch.

Nobody cares about DACA except their little pet circle of fragile true believers. If anything it just riles up the rest of the country that wants real immigration reform.
