So, did the Democrats lose 'bigly' with their ridiculous shutdown? Let's see what the media thinks....

Last week, the media was salivating over the prospect of a federal shutdown. They were, like the Democrats, 100% sure that Republicans (and specifically Donald Trump) would catch the blame just like they did back in 2013. Unfortunately for them, it didn't work out that way. It became immediately clear that the "shutdown" was a Schumer-orchestrated ruse, designed to tie virtually everything the government does to illegal immigration. It was pig-headed, unnecessary, and ill-conceived. Like most of the stunts Dems have tried over the course of the last year, it was representative of a party desperately overplaying its hand.
