I’d like to pretend I’m mysterious, but the lack of material here is more due to indecision.
“Guarantees a vote” that will never, ever pass. Congratulations! You threw my friend out of a job, and now you’ve made sure that it was in exchange for no benefits whatsoever. Did you at least get thirty pieces of silver in exchange for giving Trump what he wants?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.
