The #Democrats caved to #Trump & the #Republicans, as #JonStewart so elegantly described.

👉🏾 Jon Stewart “Can’t F**king Believe” Democrats Caved on the Shutdown https://youtu.be/eFI6MwlLJ08

My Theory is that the #GOP are principled as in they are willing to subject the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to pain & suffering if it means achieving their desired goal. Democrats are more pragmatic, but do not know how to negotiate with someone willing to “burn it all down” to prove a point (hint: it’s leveraging power).
