    Imagine what Republicans will say if he doesn’t get any response at all.

    It doesn’t matter what they say. They are going to say something negative about Democrats either way.

    This is actually good because they can focus on this minor issue, blow it out of proportion, and look like idiots. Democrats should just respond with:

    “He was pulling the alarm to wake up the Republican leadership. Our government needs to be funded as fast as possible.”

      Sadly, it does matter what they say, if it’s something that news outlets will blast 24 hours a day.

        It doesn’t matter. Not only is it only going to be covered for 5 minutes, no one is going to vote based on this issue. Democrats can literally ignore it.

          I hope you’re right. It would be nice not to worry about stupid shit anymore. But it was still a dumb thing to do.

          I can confirm, this doesn’t change my vote. It’ll be a non-story.
