20. It's incredible how we went from such an emotional high last week to such a devastating letdown today

The shutdown was killing Trump and the GOP. They continued to tank in the polls. We had them on the ropes and they were eventually going to be decimated politically as this went on. What do the senate democrats do? Completely capitulate to Trump and willingly hand over all leverage to him on a willing bended knee. It’s disgusting. These democrats have killed the ACA. I’m pretty sure Schumer was completely fine with it behind closed doors. How do you think Lyndon Johnson would have handled these turncoat democrats if he was minority leader?? It’s all so depressing. These traitors have screwed us all and have killed all of the momentum coming out of last week. Pathetic & depressing
