It's simple. Most Americans don't want chaos. And they know Republicans run Washington [View all]
On this or that stand Democrats may take, they may or may not win polling on that issue at the time, but the big picture is constant. The more chaos, the more unsettling changes, the more stress that Americans experience during the Trump regime, the more Americans become upset with it. That is true of the shutdown regardless of who most may blame for it after it finally ends. The Republican brand is Chaos. The Republican brand is uncertainty. The Republican brand is turbulence in our daily lives. Few beyond fanatics want that, but Republicans are seen as embracing it.
It is the Meta message that underlies everything else. And Republicans will pay in November if Democrats are resolute in not making the path forward for them easy in the interim.
