For ONCE the Senate Republicans played hardball, stood up to the left and got them to back down on the government shutdown with no assurances of anything in return. It’s a HUGE win for the GOP, because they are usually back on their heels, on the defensive. Trump gave them the courage they seemed to have lost in the past, by blaming the government shutdown on Senator Schumer.

Now the Dems are fighting among themselves. They’ve not won the war, but the skirmish goes to the GOP! Well done, Trump administration!
