jonah goldberg, senior editor at national review. mollie hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. josh kraushaar, politics editor at national journal. jonah, thoughts. by any normal beltway standards it s not a great triumph for donald trump. it s less money than he was going to get if he didn t shutdown the government the first time. i think he has probably no choice in deciding it because either you get a shutdown if you try to go the continuing resolution amount, it s even less money. i think he signs it and then i would suspect either he declares an emergency or starts moving money around and creates a new fight. if he declares emergency, the courts most of it but he gets to say that i tried. that would be a political one for him but it s not a great deal. i think it s a genuine compromise bill. each side gets a little bit of what they want. the problem is it s a compromise
now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. joining now, politics editor at national journal, josh krosh shar. in his latest piece josh writes that inexperienced candidates along with a slew of well-funded primary challenges could cost democrats winnable seats in the 2018 midterm elections. josh, i ve got to ask you, one of the complaints about the trump administration that you hear from democrats is that they came in with no plan to replace health care, something they ve been talking about for eight years, that they really haven t thought out anything they want to do for an agenda. couldn t the same thing be said now about the democratic party, basically all they talk about is donald trump instead of answering the basic question, what s your plan, what are you going to do?
