Republicans Can Win The Shutdown If…

It’s not a joke to say Republicans have an uncanny knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Of all the things the GOP excels at, this tops the charts. So as the longest partial shutdown of the government in history rolls on, it’s important to take a moment to check the status of things and game out how things could go. And, believe it or not, Republicans could actually end up with money for a border wall (or barrier, whatever) if only they ignore all their natural instincts and stand strong.
The sad profiles of federal employees claiming to be on the verge of destruction have already begun, as have the stories of others impacted by the absence of a small percentage of a small percentage of the government. These “human interest†stories are a staple of everything liberals do – appealing to feelings is much easier than making a logical argument when your policies make no logical sense.
Rather than being sucked into answering for every sad tale of woe, most of which are fed to reporters by liberal activists and Democratic operatives, Republicans have to stand strong and refuse to take the bait. Respond to these inquiries with simple, obvious truths like, “It’s sad what’s happening. I wish Democrats had kept the House in session this weekend so we could work together to end this, but they have no interest in negotiation. So maybe you should ask them about it.â€

Easy:
- If... enough federal workers in northern Virginia decide they can no longer afford to live there and move out, that flips Virginia back to red, aiding Trump with more electoral votes to win re-election.

I need Both hands to applaud the spectacle.
Those blood sucking parasites have been kicking Me over the Verge of Destruction my entire life.
And now I'm supposed to weep over Their misfortunes?
Get me a Schlitz and a corn dog!

Good luck with that.
