Republican Scott Jennings is grinning and saying, ‘I told you so.’ Why? On Sunday night, the Democrats caved in the Senate and helped pass a bill to end the Schumer Shutdown in a 60-40 vote. Last week, Jennings told Abby Phillip and the CNN NewsNight panel that Democrats could have ended the shutdown five weeks ago with a similar deal.
Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) ~ Right again. Called it on Tuesday night. Dems could’ve done this deal 35 days ago. Purely political. They hurt people for nothing other than politics.

Gimme3Steps (@TheSouthGAJohn) ~ They needed to get their base fired up before the Tuesday elections ... just to ensure they won races in blue states. Think about that one. LOL!
Anon (@Ps4_Reconnoiter) ~ All of that suffering to the American people just for Democrats to galvanize their voters in blue areas. Shameful tactics.
Again, Democrats are incapable of feeling shame; it’s what makes them who they are.
Dee Glass (@Earthling50bn) ~ So, Democrats agreed to end the shutdown that they said Republicans were causing. Got it. 🙄
In the end, Democrats owned the Schumer Shutdown after lying for weeks that it was President Donald Trump and the Republicans’ fault. Now the Democrat Party infighting begins. If only they had listened to Jennings.
