Democrats Press on with Shutdown Threats… Even the Media Isn’t Buying Their Obstruction

Democrats Press on with Shutdown Threats… Even the Media Isn’t Buying Their Obstruction

Amidst the looming threat of a government shutdown, Democrats appear poised to use this political crisis as leverage, seemingly indifferent to the potential fallout. By pushing for a hefty $1.5 trillion wishlist, they risk plunging the nation into chaos if Republicans do not comply.

The desire for a functioning government resonates with the American public, and even mainstream media seems skeptical of the Democrats’ political theatrics.

Politico reports that Democrats are attempting to leverage the threat of a government shutdown for political gain.

“Republicans propose a ‘clean’ seven-week continuing resolution to allow time for negotiations regarding full-year spending and possibly extending health insurance subsidies. In contrast, Democrats have created an alternative four-week proposal loaded with additional demands, including a permanent extension of those insurance subsidies.”

Senate Democrats are largely at fault as Congress gears up for a government shutdown, Bloomberg reports.

“Democrats, struggling to counteract Trump’s policies or attract significant media spotlight, find themselves cornered into risking a shutdown. Senator Schumer, having previously stepped back from such tactics, is adopting a firmer stance this time, albeit with some senators still undecided on their votes.”

The New York Times has noted that Democrats blocked the GOP’s funding proposal to maintain federal operations through November.

“Senate Democrats halted Republicans’ efforts to extend federal funding past the September 30 deadline, demanding considerable concessions on healthcare and other issues in exchange for their cooperation in an essential measure to prevent a government shutdown.”

The Washington Examiner points out that Democrats jeopardize a shutdown while pursuing a “wish list” of policies that the GOP considers unacceptable.

“The Republican plan, which passed through the House last week, fell victim to a 60-vote filibuster in the Senate. It mainly proposed to extend existing funding levels through November 21, allowing for more time to negotiate a bipartisan budget. The Democratic counterproposal, however, would only fund operations through October while also including extensions for Obamacare credits, along with a host of other demands that face staunch Republican opposition.”

The Hill reports that Democrats assert a shutdown is “essential” to convey a powerful message to President Trump.

“Democratic senators contend that if Republicans persist with their ‘clean’ seven-week continuing resolution, they feel compelled to defeat it to send a significant message to the Trump administration.”

CNN has highlighted that Democrats are gearing up for a showdown with Trump over the looming government shutdown.

“With the party still on the sidelines in Washington, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other leaders are seizing the opportunity for a contentious confrontation with President Donald Trump regarding the impending funding deadline. They publicly maintain an image of unity, with many eager to challenge Trump. However, within their ranks, there are growing concerns over how they can retreat from this confrontation should Trump refuse to compromise, fearing that any shutdown would significantly disrupt the country while ultimately resulting in Democrats capitulating without any gains.”

Politico outlines that Democrats appear devoid of a coherent plan, opting instead for obstruction.

“Under immense pressure to display a willingness to stand up against President Trump, Democrats are teetering on the brink of a politically dangerous shutdown, lacking a clear exit strategy or any understanding of what a favorable outcome would entail.”
