Government shutdowns are becoming a regular headache in Washington, and this time Democrats are in big trouble. Rob Finnerty from Newsmax says the Democrats have only bad choices as the deadline looms. With Donald Trump in the White House and Elon Musk streamlining government operations, the old tricks aren’t working anymore.
Last year, Democrats claimed they were the “good guys” who would never let a shutdown happen. They said shutting down the government hurts national security and military families. Now they’re doing the exact opposite. Their leaders, like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, are polling at rock-bottom approval ratings. Voters see right through their flip-flopping.
Republicans need eight Senate Democrats to vote with them to keep the government open. So far, only Senator John Fetterman is on board. Democrats are stuck. If they vote against the funding bill, they’ll get blamed for the shutdown. If they cave, they look weak. Either way, their unpopular policies like open borders and green energy mandates won’t survive.
A recent poll shows Schumer and Jeffries are less popular than ever. Shutting down the government would send those numbers crashing further. Democrats used to lecture Republicans about responsibility. Now they’re the ones playing games with your tax dollars. It’s pure hypocrisy, and voters aren’t buying it.
Finnerty compared today’s Democratic leaders to history’s worst dictators. He noted that only tyrants like Hitler and Stalin built statues of themselves while still in power. Modern Democrats act the same way—putting their egos ahead of the people’s needs. It’s no wonder their party is falling apart.
A shutdown would stall President Trump’s America First agenda. His policies on immigration, trade, and energy are working. Democrats want to sabotage that progress. But voters remember who fights for them and who fights for themselves. This November, the blame will land squarely on the left.
The clock is ticking. If Democrats keep refusing to negotiate, the government closes at midnight. Republicans are ready to keep things running smoothly. It’s time for Democrats to stop the madness and do their jobs. The American people deserve better than this chaos.
