If the shutdown occurs, there will be a ton of media attention given it. One party or the other will be blamed. Doom and gloom will prevail. Whichever party is blamed, there will be a lot of talk about that blamed party never recovering. Regardless, keep in mind most Americans have very short memories. In previous shutdowns, around two weeks to a month, it was like the shut down never occurred. Folks have moved on to other things, issues, events, happenings. Within a month the shutdown will be ancient history to most, forgotten.

It will be worth the try if it brings some attention to Trump and his doings from those who aren’t paying any attention now. But then again, those not paying attention now will be among the first to forget.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
