    He would have an opportunity to do this Sept. 30, just weeks before the midterm elections and just as the Senate tries to confirm his Supreme Court nominee. Or he may punt the issue until after the midtermshttps://twitter.com/CNN/status/1023574485344178176 …

        Notice how he easily defines the daily narrative here. And the media laps it up. Fear used to sell. Now it's outrage.

        I’m betting he’ll punt until after the midterms. “If you don’t elect a pile of Republicans, I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll shut your government down.”

        Sounds like a strategy to do *before* the midterms??

        Replying to @McQzan @mkraju

        A strategy is to *threaten* before the midterms. If he actually does shutdown government before the midterms he risks the Republicans being blamed for the shutdown. By just threatening, he’s claiming that electing them would be a way to avoid a shutdown altogether.

        At this point, Trump will hurt only himself by closing down the government. It will be viewed for what it is, another tantrum. Also, if he shuts down govt, won’t that impinge on his rally schedule? Will his rally flights on Marine 1 and AF 1 be considered essential services?
