Fox News keeps forcing Trump into shutdowns
Government shutdowns are disasters for Republicans, but right-wing media makes it almost impossible for the GOP to compromise in a budget fight.

The U.S. government has experienced three major shutdowns over the past twenty-five years. In 1995, it was a fight over programs like Medicare. In 2013, it was over an effort to defund Obamacare. In 2018, it was over funding for a border wall. And while each crisis revolved around a different policy fight, they all followed a similar pattern: Republicans, egged on by right-wing pundits and talk radio, were pressured into forcing a government shutdown that eventually blew up in their faces.
Ever since the 90s, Republicans have become dependent on right-wing outlets like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to rally and mobilize their supporters. That’s garnered them success in major elections, but it’s also backed them into a corner. Republicans know they can’t betray the conservative pundits who helped elect them, but those pundits are becoming more and more ideologically extreme, pressuring Republicans to shut the government down over even minor funding disputes.
As long as right-wing media has a stranglehold on conservative politics, Republicans will keep finding themselves steered into crises they know they can’t win.

I'm starting to think this Republican party might not be serious about governing.

99% of government shut downers quit before the other side caves in.

I still say that when government shutdowns happen, the first people to not get paid at all, should be Congress.

i vividly remember this time around nine years ago when a FOX News 'wannabe' from Canada known as the 'SUN News Network' permanently shut down. Boy was i so thrilled over this piece of wonderful news.

It’s sad when Lincoln’s party became a Joke in 1994 and a comedy show and I wasn’t the biggest Clinton fan

And here we are today. The majority of Americans wanted border control. The Dems wanted open border, how else can they get voters.
