Why Schumer has to shut it down
Conn Carroll

If you want to know why Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is not going to provide the seven Democratic votes needed to keep the government open this Tuesday, just ask Nathan Sage, one of the two Iowa Democrats vying to replace retiring Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), if he would support Schumer to continue as the leader of Senate Democrats.

“Hell no,” Sage told reporters last week. “It’s about damn time he seems like he’s starting to fight for us. It’s almost too late at this point.”

Sage is not the only Democrat aspiring to be a senator who is on the record opposing Schumer’s leadership of the caucus. None of Sage’s opponents in the Democratic primary has come out in support of Schumer, and those who have voiced an opinion are against the New York Democrat.

“My opponents, on both sides of the aisle, seem all too happy to defer to an old guard that has failed our state. Not me,” Iowa state Sen. Zach Wahls said in a statement. “It’s time for new leadership.”

Democratic frustration with Schumer stems from the vote he and nine other Democrats — Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Dick Durbin (D-IL), John Fetterman (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Angus King (I-ME), Gary Peters (D-MI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) — took with Republicans in March to prevent the last government shutdown.

I'm OK with Schumer shutting down the government.  Consider it a win-win.

Schumer will give Trump cover to layoff more Career-Conditional Civil Servants to further weaken the Deep State.

Schumer will be giving Trump an early Christmas present.

As long as Dems keep fighting for illegal alien criminals, they are toast.

The Dems have chosen the wrong hill to die on.

It's one thing to fight for American citizens and legal residents; it's another to fight for a class of millions of illegal alien criminals.

If Dems only fought as hard for Deplorables as they do for illegal alien criminals, maybe their party wouldn't be circling the drain outside their gated limousine liberal enclaves.

I don't care what they call it as long as it blocks government money from funding Democrat campaign coffers.  Balance the budget, and the Democrat Party ceases to exist.
