A big beautiful wall. But you have to share it with the rest of us.

Rank and file Dems are going to get irritated if there's a shutdown this long. Republicans generally don't care if government operations get jammed up, but Democrats do. I think Pelosi's going to have a difficult time getting her caucus to hold firm on that.

What do you think would trigger such a gov't shutdown?

Yeah, that's true. I immediately want to take it back. I had my impeachment prediction typed up, and thought "what else could happen in the House?" Didn't really give it the proper thought that this sacred exercise deserves.

New prediction: GH will be right about me being wrong about a government shutdown.
I was dead wrong on being skeptical of your prediction, which means you were also dead wrong on me being right about you being wrong. :haha:

I'm surprised and impressed that House Democrats held their own on that shutdown. It had to be uncomfortable to them to see what was happening when it was going on, but it looks like their supporters are willing to tolerate it more than I thought. The flight attendants' union coming up with an assist also helped.

Sure am glad I didn't abuse my power and delete that prediction after the fact. It probably helped Democrats that Trump was out there everyday basically begging to take all the blame for it.

Alright guys, seems about the right time for some way too early Democratic primary predictions.

I want to look at the order of the primaries again before I decide. Anyone who makes a prediction after the first debate is a buster; we should cap predictions for that at like May 1st.

Trump will give pete buttigieg a stupid nickname, like "buttman." He won't apologize for it, but will later tweet "Gay people love me!"
