It's mind boggling.

Yeah, I think the government will remain shut down for much longer.

I don't see a path out of this.

I don't think they have the votes to send the filibuster.

And I don't think after, you know, however long it's been, Republicans can look at American people in the eyes and be like, this is what we fought for.

We fought to extend Obamacare for you.

That's a political loser.

Another element of this is the shutdown does have bad effects for rolling the agenda out.

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.
