    Pro-Trump media got totally swindled by proclaiming that this shutdown was anything other than a cynical political stunt -- which ultimately accomplished nothing. It was Trump's numbskull strategy of deferring for two years to Paul Ryan that brought this about in the first place.

        not so sure I'd say 'cynical political stunt'.. but it did accomplish nothing. And, it was an absolutely insane idea to defer to Ryan.

        It never was anything other than a political stunt, claiming otherwise would have been a lie. Then again, when has lying ever stopped the GOP?

        Actually, there never was R's support in the House. Also not in Senate. With this stunt, he got R's in House and Senate. Only need Dems now

        Everyone knew it was a stunt, that's pretty much all of politics. Still someone has to win and Trump lost.

        Impossible to win government shutdown unless federal employees get paid, good point on deferring to Ryan.

        Whats Trump supposed to do? He has to have allies. Most of them dont want border security and secretly hate Trump. It is what it is.

        How peculiar to use the past tense before the situation has been resolved.
