Josh Barro: "Trump spent ten months sending the message that the government does what he wants. Demolishing the East Wing was just an exclamation mark on that. So it shouldn't be surprising that Republicans can't offload blame for the shutdown. If Trump wants the government open, why isn't it open?"

Trump wrote that #energy prices would fall if Virginia's voters elect Republicans.
Jesse Lee said it is a losing argument because "Republicans control everything, even the Virginia governorship, and utility rates are up 10% since Trump took office. How would voting for more Republicans mean anything but more of the same?"
