Midknight Review -- new and revised: I thought I was the only one. Turns out the President is aware of facts after a GOP shut down and they ain't bad.

Comments by President Trump, as he considers shutdown the government for good cause. I have been making this argument for years.

Donald Trump:   Establishment Republicans and anti-Trump journalists were stunned when President Trump tweeted that he would be willing to risk a government shutdown in order to secure funding for his border wall.

The conventional wisdom in political and media circles is that the Republican Party will pay the price for a government shutdown.

This is fake news.

In 1996, the election . . . .
. . . .   immediately after the 1995 government shutdown – that the media claims re-elected Bill Clinton – the GOP gained two seats in the Senate (while losing only 3 seats in the House ~ editor).

And in 2014, after the media claimed the GOP committed political suicide after shutting down the government over defunding Obamacare the Republican Party gained nine Senate seats and seized control of the chamber.

Related notes: The 2014 midterms following the 13 day shutdown in 2013, was the most one sided election since Woodrow Wilson, an overwhelming referendum against President Obama.

In 1994 midterms, the GOP picked up 2 seats in the Senate but lost 3 seats in the house . . . . while maintaining control of both houses of congress.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
