Wallace: If They Don’t Keep the Gov’t Running, that Will Be ‘Enormously Damaging’ to Trump

‘This is an enormously risky strategy’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Job one next week is to keep the government running. If they don’t find a way to fund the government, we’ll have a shutdown on Friday and that would be enormously damaging to the President and the Congress with control of all houses, both houses of Congress and the White House, that they can’t keep the government running. And remember, a lot of Democrats — they need Democratic votes. They can’t keep the government running without Democratic votes. And for Democrats, they hate the idea of repealing and replacing ObamaCare and you're going to try to get their support just at the time you’re trying to gut the major legislative accomplishment of the last eight years? That really is very risky. It's hard enough to get two things done. But to say on the one hand, 'Let’s reason together,' and on the other hand, 'We’ll kick you in the shins,' that’s kind of a hard bargain."
