over his pet project, but democrats failed to realize the hypocrisy here, you had barack obama in 2013 shut down the government over his own pet project. it was his namesake, obamacare, he shut down the government over and bill clinton in 1995 and 96 jen, you re basically alleging that there have been government shutdowns in the past. yup, that s absolutely true. but what about the president saying the shutdown could drag on for months, even years. this could be the longest in decades, if not ever, if you listen to what the president said. that s the problem here is that the president doesn t see the political downside of the shut down. and until he does and senate republicans who are up in 2020, like senator gardner and senator collins are trying to make that
