And now Republicans face their worst fear and biggest obstacle, their own constituents, who are quickly finding out what their elected representatives have voted for and aren't going to be happy about it. Jen Psaki shows that there is still time for American voters to make themselves heard in the budget process.

most are in safe districts that will keep voting for them, no matter how much these Repukes hurt them.

Case in point, Johnson's district is 40% on Medicaid, and he will get easily re-elected.
