Petr posted:Honestly, what political price could Republicans possibly face for a shutdown? The base doesn't care, and swing voters are way too stupid to take this into account two years from now. It didn't hurt them when they did it in 2013. Causing a shutdown right before christmas which will likely affect people's travel will piss a lot of people off and allow for very good attack ads in 2020

It didn't hurt them when they did it in 2013. The difficulty is that there's no possible way they win. A shutdown isn't gonna force Democrats to cave. All it'll do is start generating bad press for Republicans. Yes, people will probably forget by 2020 - but nobody is sure about that, and even if republicans are only lightly punching themselves in the nuts repeatedly eventually that builds up to permanent damage. And then when they finally have to climb down after days/weeks/months of that dick-punching, they'll get nothing for it - and their base's anger at getting nothing for it will only remind people of it in 2020.

No, FAA and TSA, etc. will all be performing their duties as "essential services". However they won't be getting paid, and that's gonna go over really well at Christmas.

This is going to be a very odd shutdown because lots of appropriation bills were passed. Lots of the government will remain open, and the parts that Democrats care most about are in there. Trump is shutting down DHS to protest border security.

Nah shutting down air traffic control would be insane, even by insane people standards. There are some governmental agencies that are essential, and not affected by a shutdown.

If they pass the 5 billion dollar wall nonsense then the senate tells them to go suck a lemon. If they pass the clean Cr then the white house toddler throws his tantrum.
