I would bet most people will never see this or even know it happened. People who actively pay attention to politics will know about it, but that's a small minority. If his approval rating goes down 2% points because of this, I'll be surprised.

At any point, did she ask him "If that's true, Donald, then what do you need us for?"

E: Good on them for calling it the "Trump shutdown" right away, though. Other Democrats will follow their lead on it.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Trump really, really, doesn't respect women. Pelosi was invited because she had to be, but you could immediately tell he had zero interest in letting her speak at all, even before she was taunting his lack of awareness on reality.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:

Not as such, but she did say "hold the vote then" to call him out on it.

Explicitly saying "I want to shut down the government" is actually pretty drat funny and is the sort of thing all the centrist/undecided idiots might find convincing. At least some of them. It also makes the media look stupid for pretending that Democrats would be equally to blame

Things could be going better

Trump is not going to shut down the gov because honestly he probably doesn't want it built. He loves gaudy monuments, but the wall would be such an expensive unmitigated disaster that no one will thank him for.

Putter around, build some prototypes, use it as a bargaining chip that will never be cashed and blame the libs when it doesnt get funded

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee

Look I know everyone likes to focus on the base, but 1.) The base isn't enough to win North Carolina, Colorado, or Maine, and 2.) Voters really hate shutdowns and blame whoever is doing it for partisan reasons even if they support those partisan reasons, as we saw with the DACA recipients.

This is pretty clearly not going to end well for Trump.

No Mitch tried to block it. But the bill is sponsored by Chuck Grassley (and a democrat, I forget who) and Grassley was getting pissed off that his bill wasn't getting a vote. So he told Mitch if it didn't get a vote, Grassley would just be too drat busy with hearings on a new criminal reform bill to consider new judges in the next Senate. Mitch got the message.

Christmas eve.

The Trump Shutdown would be a Christmas Carol, only Ebenezer Trump took precisely the wrong lessons from it all and doubled down.

Edit: VVVV Wow, that take is so hot it won't be safe to look at directly for another 10,000 years.
