Even Rasmussen, a pollster specifically funded by the GOP powers that be to fart out fake numbers to create phony narratives, can't even muster up a poll fake enough to clean up the turd that is the current GOP/MAGA government.
 
That even Rasmussen that usually is a very Republican leaning pollster shows that people blames the GOP for this, means a considerate number of GOP voters blames the GOP for this. Luckily for them they don't need to care about the voters.
 
Because most people are not smart enough to know there is a 60 vote requirement to pass the bill.
Schumer and his band of self inflicting idiots, refused to give it unless the Republicans re-fund PBS/NPR and give illegal immigrants health coverage again - FOR FREE. Do you get healthcare for free??
But, naturally, the entire left media is 100% silent on this issue. And blame Trump and allow Schumer to blame them and not him.
And the left drink that Kool-Aid just like they drink every cup officered to them.

I'd be interested in seeing the partisan breakdown of these polls, specifically Rasmussen. My guess is the Independent voters who blame the GOP for the shutdown must be very high.

Yeah sure roll with that cope bro.
 
Not one word is not true

Everything you said is not true.

Which is why your shitty political party is rightfully getting the blame for shutting down the government, because none of those losers, including the babbling senile Gameshow host "president", can't govern worth a shit.

I wish you would stop listening to Fox News, because illegals do NOT get federally funded health care. Some states DO extend health care funding to illegals.
Democrats have been pushing for concessions from the government on health - an extension to subsidies for Obamacare health insurance and changes to Medicaid.
But illegal or undocumented immigrants are not eligible for these schemes and the Democrats have not said they want to change this.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Republicans:
The following groups of lawfully present immigrants lost eligibility for all of these programs:

  • Refugees
  • Asylum recipients
  • People paroled into the U.S. for more than one year
  • Survivors of trafficking and other crimes (people with T visas)
  • Survivors of domestic violence (those with a petition under the Violence Against Women Act)
  • People granted withholding of deportation/removal, and conditional entrants
The following groups of lawfully present immigrants lost eligibility for ACA subsidies:

  • Green card holders who are in a Medicaid waiting period and earn under 100% of the federal poverty line
  • People paroled into the U.S. for less than one year
  • People with Temporary Protected Status
  • People with a nonimmigrant visa
  • People who have applied for T or U visas
  • People granted employment authorization
  • Family Unity beneficiaries
  • Individuals granted Deferred Enforced Departure or deferred action (excluding DACA recipients who are now excluded due to Trump administration regulations)
  • Individuals under the age of 14 with a pending application for adjustment of status, asylum, withholding of removal or for protection under the Convention Against Torture;
  • Individuals granted withholding of removal under the regulations implementing the Convention Against Torture
  • Individuals with a pending or approved petition for classification as a Special Immigrant Juvenile.

When YOU blabber nonsense you not only embarrass yourself, you make it sound like Righties are totally clueless (which they are but you shouldn't be making it THAT obvious).

At least Trump ‘made Argentina great again’, eh?
 

GOP, Trump get more blame for shutdown than Democrats, poll shows​


Poll finds more Americans blame Trump, GOP for shutdown than Democrats​


Meanwhile you still have Righties making the most ignorant statements that this is all about giving healthcare to illegals. Because they ONLY ever listen to Fox and never have the sagacity or smarts to dig deeper into the issues.

And the trend will continue today as well, all day, with more ignorant statements from the Righties on here, while ignoring..........#10
 
Why is Trump bailing out Argentina and screwing over American gamers every way but loose 2.0?
Because Democrats want to give illegals free healthcare. Hell, they heard it on Fox, so it must be true.
With each passing day it becomes more obvious they have absolutely no clue of the issues beyond what the rightwing talking heads tell them, AND when confronted, they behave like little children and get all pouty.........

Oh THE IRONY!!

The difference will be the ad campaign from the GOP, going up this week in 42 CDs, some Democratic and some Repub.

Democrats would have had jobs data out today, unlike Repubs, who are hiding job data, while manipulating it.

Boo hoo, your idol and his testicle free sidekick Mike Johnson are getting the blame.
Good.

Okay, that's it, that's it! Cancel the elections. In fact, cancel all elections until morale improves!
 
I don't understand it - but the news can't be trusted, so I could be missing something.

It seems obvious that the Democrats are shutting down the government. Which means that they should be out front and center saying why they are shutting it down and what they're asking for. These asks - Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid - are primarily, and could be exclusively, about keeping people alive. They could say flat out that they're excluding the illegals if they wanted. They should be saying "look, we're doing the shut down, but for something really important".

Instead, all the news is about how the Democrats are trying to blame the Republicans for the shutdown, which is just absurd given that it's on the news. The Republicans are eating it up because they want to transition to a country ruled by decree where Congress has no part in making spending decisions of any kind. And the Democrats don't even comment on that.

Maybe the news is just leaving out every part of the story? Or are the Democrats just that clueless?

That's funny because we know the MAGA could end the requirement of 60 votes anytime. Why won't they?

They should. The GOP is in full control of government. It’s the republicans following Trump’s orders that refuses to negotiate or to play that old political game of give and take. If one goes to the polls themselves one does see the republicans getting most of the blame, but roughly a third of all Americans are blaming both major parties.

Even so, the question is will this shut down have any long-term effects? Will it cause Trump’s overall approval rating to drop? What about the midterms? If history is any guide, any event that happens a year out before an election has little to no effect on the next election. By that time this shut down will be ancient history. Long forgotten as other events takes it place.
