I feel the answer to this is to go after McConnell!!!! That is the answer to this! He is the ONLY person protecting RUMP. In my mind McConnell is the key to this shutdown! Somehow we have to divide and conquer the RETHUGS!!!!!

(3,131 posts)Mcconnell isnt going to budge unless his leadership is in jeopardy. I dont know if the senate can just switch leaders in a sumple vote or if some republicans would have to caucus with democratic senators temporarily to make that hapoen.
Its absolutely unheard of and very unlikely but may be our best shot of applying pressure.
Short of that, Im afraid something catastrophic will have to happen. At some point losing their pension will be less of a problem than not having a paycheck and there will he a mass exodus that shuts down air travel.
Financial markets could also apply pressure. The problem is that will also be slow and the damage will not be repaired simply by reopening the government. Investors have to ask if the US remains a stable place to invest if we cant keep the government open.

THe USA will become part o the new USSR under Putin.

(16,906 posts)I know that McConnell is a russian puppet. (i cannot prove this) But how do we (the DEMS.) get some RETHUGS to see really what is at stake here for our country's future? THAT is what we have to accomplish. I CANNOT believe ALL of the RETHUGS are involved in this.
