It's all about the polls. This was a gamble because they thought they would come ahead int eh polls. But it backfired hard. Not just with the GOP's base gaining support (because we've been asking them to have a backbone for years) but also the independents because the optics were fucking terrible

>shut down the government for trillions in spending for illegal immigrant healthcare
