and having a good strategy is important, particularly with the threats Trump is making. I was just curious of what folks thought of the possible plays here. We desperately need to do very well in the midterms, and a government shutdown can be critical, depending on who gets the blame. I am in favor of the Dems fighting back and standing up, and finally putting a halt on the damage he's been allowed so far, to get away with inflicting.
