And so what we're really seeing now is the exposure of a massive divide in the Republican Party.

That's playing out in a lot of stories right now, by the way.

There are people trying to wait out President Trump who hate the America First agenda but are happy to have America First consultants and pollsters involved.

try to help them speak it so they can stay in the Senate and now live President Trump's administration.

But that's where we're at.

We can expect much more of it.

It's time we actually get people in D.C.

who stand for the things they say on the campaign trail and just not incumbents that can benefit from all this to just stay in the swamp forever.

It's getting old.

Everyone's sick of it.

Everyone is.

There's a reason why Congress has the approval rating it does.

I think Republicans need to take advantage of the leverage that they have right now.

I mean, like the Democrat constituencies depend on, you know, the federal government being open more than the Republicans.

I mean, you're looking at Democrats cause chaos that they shut down the government.

Flights are being canceled.

Snapspot being rolled out.

And so Democrats should have to live with those consequences should they actually come to pass in full steam.

It's going to get worse.

And Democrats are going to have to go on camera and explain why they won't just reauthorize a clean CR and keep this thing open.
