exactly, I think people want to fight ... even if fighting causes more damage than not ... can't beat the GOP ... beat up the Dem leadership instead ...

Schumer thought the danger of a shutdown was an unacceptable risk .. was he wrong ? .... Maybe there is a better person for the job, but this looks a lot like people looking for a fight ... looks like, when we can't beat the GOP, we might as well beat up on each other ???

Maybe going into a Shutdown w/ Trump at the helm would not have been the nightmare that Schumer was forecasting .. It's just not obvious to me that Schumer was wrong ...
I don't understand how so many people here can be so sure that there was any chance that a better CO could've been obtained.
