Well, that timing isn’t suspicious at all. Word on the street last week was that Senate Democrats would keep the government shut down until after the election, at which time they’d cave. Punchbowl News is reporting Tuesday night, as election results roll in, that more than a dozen Senate Democrats are engaging with Republicans on reopening the government.

Democrats shut down the government in order to cause enough pain to help their political chances on election day. https://t.co/alACBm796r

Oh look.
Election Day has arrived and Senate Democrats are all of a sudden interested in re-opening the government. https://t.co/lJE5U9XJyi

So they held their own voters hostage for an election. https://t.co/HIykuacu4V

So… Democrats shut down the government for an election edge? https://t.co/p2Pgs7sNez

Weird, almost if Dems didn’t sign a clean CR because they were looking to further some sort of narrative for some sort of political reason that ends at 7pm EDT tonight https://t.co/SWiReIWteg

Gosh what weird timing. It’s almost like there was some kind of event they were waiting for. https://t.co/FsMQSb1NFK

Gee. It’s almost as if the Dems wanted to keep this going until Election Day to keep their NOVA voters mad.
Trump should pull the CR and put up a budget with massive cuts. https://t.co/TIMHBeAXq1

This was so obvious. The Senate Democrats just voted this morning a 14th time to keep the government closed down, but now more than a dozen are willing to concede? Right after the election? What timing.
