and that Trump and Republicans would want a shutdown to end quickly because it was hurting the American people. They don't care about hurting the Ameican people.
Trump would have been handed unbridled power. He wouldn't have wanted to give it up, and he certainly wouldn't have given Democrats any concessions.
Democrats would have been blamed, just as sure as they are being blamed now for everything the Republicans are doing, despite the fact that Republican and third party voters (in addition to the "I want to punish the Democrats" nonvoters) put Republicans in charge of both chambers, the executive branch, and the Supreme Court.
And the media would have loved to spin a dishonest "hapless Democrats screw up again" storyline. It's great for revenue.
