    Default Government reopens, big win for moderates

    Yuge win for sanity. The nuts at Brietbart or Infowars or Hannity or Limbaugh or even many at Slate won't be pleased, but government reopens and Dreamers will not be deported, it appears.

    Moderate Democrats and Republicans win. Big win for the DEEEEEEEP STATE.

    And now Mueller can continue with his investigation.

    I listened to Rush today. He was loving it. I suspect Hannity will express much the same later when he comes on the air.

    Correct; there isn't even legislation yet to vote on. That is what makes these liberals look more asinine.

    anarchy is preferable to the tyranny we've had for the last 30 years.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    It was a huge win for moderates. Problem is, democrats have so few of them lol.

    Democrats lost on it because the optics were absolutely horrid: it’s never a good political move to put illegals ahead of the military. And when word got out that democrats were putting illegals ahead of even CHIPS[!!], the political burden became too much for Schumer and the democrats.

    As I pointed out yesterday, the longer the shutdown dragged on the more opportunity voters were going to have to get familiar with the ugly little details of our current immigration policy. Or is it lack of one?

    That’s always been the real story: it’s not who gets blamed for the shutdown—-it’s the respective motivation of the opposing sides.

    Why do democrats put illegals ahead of CHIPS, btw?

    The deal is straightforward and one practically all reasonable people would approve.

    Why don’t democrats approve it?

    It was indeed a big win for moderates...and it has a significant side benefit. We learned how much better our government functions if the Republicans are able to keep Donald Trump muzzled.

    My guess, however, is that buffoon in the Oval Office doesn't realize how he helps best...by not helping.
