True that.
I still think it could be a political win for the Dems, when the premiums rise. (Putting policy aside, obviously)

Agree on both counts, but we're in the usual Democratic civil war territory again.
I've heard some rumblings that some of the 8 were taking the fall for many of the rest who wanted the shutdown over.

@Daniel Schumer absolutely needs to go.
What everyone needs to do is ask your Senators if they support replacing Schumer. If the answer is "no", primary them. It doesn't matter if your Senator voted "no" on the funding bill, we don't really know how many Senators secretly wanted to support it but took cover and allowed 8 Senators who are either leaving the Senate or are not up for re-election, take the fall. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Schumer was in on this. At the very least, he is incapable of doing the hard fighting and keeping coherence in the party.

@Piano-Dad That's what I've heard too.
