He's not somebody who kind of fits the moment that Democrats believe that they're in that requires maximum opposition to what Trump is doing.

You know, we've seen in Democratic primaries in past years, when candidates have sort of said things online or in person that they regret heading into elections, that the attacks on them play very differently in Democratic primaries than they do in general elections.

The Democratic primary voters tend to be pretty high information voters.

At least in Maine, they knew these things about Graham Plattner.

before Janet Mills put them on television ads, and the ones who were supporting Planner had decided they didn't care about them.

Now, that picture will be very different in a general election where the electorate is much bigger, you have more sort of independent voters involved, and the attacks on him will be much sharper and more enduring

when coming from the broader Republican political apparatus than they've been in the primary.

Today, the Senate voted to start reopening the government.

We took a big step forward to protect the health care of tens of millions of Americans in exchange for funding through January 31st.

With the government reopened, we must move quickly to deliver on that promise and to keep health care premiums affordable.

This was the only deal on the table.

It was our best chance to reopen the government and immediately begin negotiations to extend the ACA tax credits that tens of millions of Americans rely on to keep costs down.

Thank you all.

I don't understand what these people in Washington think they're doing representing the people who they claim to represent.

Shane, happy Sunday.

Yeah, it's actually a question that I was down in Washington, D.C. this week asking Democratic lawmakers and Democratic officials even before this shutdown fight exploded. And the question I was asking is whether the Democratic Party is facing its own Tea Party moment.

For years and years, it's been the Republican voters who have been angry, and they've been angry at their own party, and they've been angry at the Democratic Party. And for the first time in many years, Democrats are describing that same kind of anger.
