Ben Domenech has a fairly standard view of the shutdown politics. I love this part:
The only rational explanation for this shutdown error was Democrats’ belief that President Trump would not be able to resist the urge to intervene and worsen the situation – either by making some base-splitting promise or saying something objectionable. This is not an entirely unreasonable bet, of course – but President Trump manages on occasion to avoid behaving like Leeroy Jenkins for 72 hours, and he absolutely did so here.
Definitely watch the video of Leeroy Jenkins destroying a carefully planned attack with his unplanned, self-destructive, counter productive foolishness.
I share with many the fear Trump will one day pull a Leeroy Jenkins when it really matters.
