Subject: RE: BS: American Presidential race 2024
Trump wants chaos, and he wants a government shutdown, but it looks like the GOP led House of Representatives is pitching the dealbreaker that Trump wanted ("it removed a proposal demanded by Donald Trump that would require Americans nationwide to show proof of citizenship to register to vote.")
I'm trying to post links to articles everyone can open, but the headline on the Atlantic is a good one: Republicans Are Finally Tired of Shutting Down the Government Despite all the chaos of their narrow House majority, Republicans have avoided disaster.
The lesson that the GOP is having difficulty taking in is that when they act rationally they get bipartisan support and the work of governing is much easier. Trump wants it to be more difficult, so he can grandstand on different positions that are blocking functioning government.
