    His dumb attempt to set this up to try and avoid the blowback he got the last time he caved is infuriating. It’s like he can’t possibly standup for what he thinks is right. If he believes we should never shutdown the government, he should say so and own the consequences.

    I can’t tell if he’s incredibly cynical or condescending that he thinks we’re all morons that can’t see through his lame attempt to frame the narrative.
