        Hah! When Jonathan Allen thinks he is own someone but doesn’t actually watch the ad. GOP refuses to pay the ‘nation’s bills’ the ad says - the debt. But good attempt Jon.

        Trump is the one leveraging. He is on record saying the gov’t could use a good shutdown. Dems don’t control anything, why is the Republicans inability to govern on them?

        And Trump is the one who turned DOWN the bi-partisan deal Graham and Durbin came to him with - after saying he'd sign anything they came up with.

        There used to be adults in this country. There used to be actual concern for what happened “in front of the children”. Go ahead & rationalize greed. Catholic schools used shame, creating generations who rationalize bad behavior. Give them college, and sure they voted for #Trump.
