Shutdown Length
-
So the average government shut down has been eight days. The longest shutdown was back during Trump‘s first term and I remember working about a month and a half with no pay which was the longest shutdown something close to 40 days I think so with 8 being over and under, what do you all bet? Taking the over or the under?

The idea of an over/under is you’re indifferent to which you’d take.
I’ll take 20 days. The impass gets broken with some compromise on extending ACA premium subsidies (but not Medicare).
If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

I agree with Jon.

That doesn’t really mean much of anything on its own. You know that, right?

Single payer universal healthcare FTW!!!
Great! Just so long as you’re the payer. And I get every service that I want.

I don’t think so. I think he’d like to be the president who establishes universal healthcare. Very transformational.

I believe that way back when, President Trump was quite in favor of universal health care.

Again. Trump is a Clinton Democrat. I’ve said it several dozen times.

On healthcare, he is not. Bill Clinton launched childhood immunization initiatives during his presidency.
On global trade, he is also not. Bill Clinton embraced globalization.
On foreign policy, he is also not. Bill Clinton promoted NATO expansion, the UN, and multilateralism.Heck, how did you convince yourself that Trump is a Clinton Democrat?

His taste in young interns?

Trump launched what would become the largest immunization campaign in history during his first term.

Don’t be fooled for a minute. Trump is very much a globalist, he just believes that the US as the largest market is not getting the preferential treatment in trade agreements that he believes they should.
On foreign policy, he is also not. Bill Clinton promoted NATO expansion, the UN, and multilateralism.
In case you didn’t notice, NATO has expanded since 2016, adding four new nations. In addition and more importantly, NATO nations have expanded their spending and grown their military capabilities substantially.
As far as multilateralism, Trump has very much embraced it, from the Abraham Accords, to his efforts to get ME nations to proactively and publicly try to help with the Palestinian/Israel conflict, to his insistence that Europe has to be much more involved in the Ukrainian/Russian war.
Heck, how did you convince yourself that Trump is a Clinton Democrat?
By actually paying attention.
