PFF! It didn't do that at all, his approval rating dropped like a rock that entire time with +20% blaming the Repubs over the Dems for the shutdown.

It didn't do that at all? Have we traveled ahead in time 3 weeks already? They do say time fly's...
I'd also like to take the article seriously, but since it's CNN, everyone knows no matter how the shutdown ended, that headline was already chosen and wasn't going to be changed, no matter how the article had to be written to fit the title.

lol, you have given no reason for the Dems to deal while the government is shutdown. Yo have the president saying he will shutdown the government if he doesn't get his way and he has stated he will do it again. You have presented absolutely no reason why the Dems would continue to go down this route. You continue to state that the government shutdown is Trump leverage and that is where you and Trump are wrong. After all this time, Trump had to concede because your leverage wasn't working. So it appears you were wrong. The Dems stood tough and Trump needed a way out of a stupid plan that failed.
As to your opinions, as the sayings goes, even a broken clock can be right twice a day.
You will have to forgive me, I have no clue what you are talking about in your third paragraph. You made a silly comment about federal works who are not getting paid and you turned it into some kind of right wing rant. Yes, I do believe people who think 800K not getting paid no big deal is self centered. Even if they get back pay, they still have to worry about all the penalties for car, mortgage, utility bills you name it. Not including food or any medical issues that can occur. I guess living in your world where you do not have to care about the plight of such people is all good, but I happen to know a bunch of federal works and their issues.

You've said this a few times already by chance, and the fact you don't understand that, or are possibly bypassing what was said because it's the cold hard truth, which tends to be a lefty trait, says a lot.

Lol, that ship has passed. If you believe Trump can make that same play again you really are deceiving yourself. The Dems isn't given him a wall unless he gives up a lot. If he tries the same shutdown play again, he will definitely see even worst results. I guess Trump showed the Dems how weak they are and continue to play people like you. Keep up the good fight, this is just getting started. Now Trump will feel what Obama felt when you have opposition in Congress.
You can put your hopes that he goes for the Emergency route. That should be even more fun as he lose more Republicans in the Senate for that move and probably more voters.

So Trump goes the emergency route, get's the wall, loses some political backing, and then what? Loses the 2020 election to another Rep Prez? Poor Trump. Going back to that billion dollar business after giving his voters what they asked for in just 4 years time, is going to be such a terrible thing to live with. The poor guy. Somehow, I doubt it.
