by stabbing you in the back and stealing your wallet at the earliest opportunity

That's my preference anyway. The Senate GOP are losing their stomach for the shutdown, and they are clearly aware that the politics/public opinion are bad for Trump and themselves, they are clearly aware Trump has no plan and no strategy (or at least no strategy with any chance of working).

Don't let him come to the House Chamber for SOTU by re-opening the government on a short-term CR. After everything is fully funded, he can spin it however he likes during SOTU appearance, and that is when and how he gets to (try to) save face.

I want him completely humiliated.

This is our chance to break his back. We absolutely should take advantage of it.

of anyone foolish enough to think they could help him. Let him howl and whine. He was "proud" to shutdown his own government, so like he's bragged so often, only he can fix it. The Republicans don't even want to try to help him so the Dems should just laugh at him from a distance as his poll numbers tank.

With caveat that you watch the needle of public opinion.

Also I would be saturating the airwaves with the loveable quotes from Trump's camp.

Last week there was a story every night on a worker having to cope.

With his idiotic statement that people could get groceries on credit that will only hurt him more.

This hurts him with his base. Average Joe's and Jane's having to go to food banks AND having to work for no pay is something they can directly comprehend. The tRump comments along with Ross will make his supporters think of the worse boss they ever had, a person that doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself.

Of never

Definitely not worth saving.

Let the bastard twist in the wind.
