2. Rather republicans will be blamed in 2026 remains to be seen

You negotiate with them by gaining leverage and that requires both a backbone and a stomach for it. Trump maybe been immune to the consequence, but other elected republicans and republican business leaders are not. If they weren't going to be willing to concede anything in this shutdown then we should've been willing to let republican voters feel the full wrath of Trump's policies and been willing to keep the Government shutdown until he is gone. The Government is open and Trump will cause even more damage and suffering now.
