Is this *it*? Is voter dissatisfaction so rampant that a cleansing wave of primary voters demanding change is coming to wash away the dross?
Maybe. But it's very far from a certainty. It depends on a critical mass of voters who've accepted excuses for decades refusing to accept excuses anymore.

@democrats.senate.gov What in God's name was the point of the shutdown if a few corporate sell outs are just going to cave without getting anything from the GOP?
Y'all better get ready to primary those senators. Winning last week was SUPPORT for your actions and now you betrayed your base.

I can understand the ACA decision, but the core goal of this shutdown was to try and assert some manner of "the executive branch will follow the goddamn law"
We didn't get that, at all.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

The GOP claim that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown keeps being undermined by Trump, who is demanding they unilaterally end it by abolishing the filibuster. Trump says Republicans are being killed and he’s not wrong. They control the federal government.
