and explained why he led a small minority of Senators to give Krasnov all he wanted in the CR. He told Hayes that Krasnov will burn it all down and then Democrats will win the next election. Well Schumer predicted it, Krasnov gutted Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and reimbursements for Obamacare will expire.

The argument today is going to be much weaker for Democrats to shut it down, for reimbursements to Obamacare be extended.

As soon as Krasnov got what he wanted last March he gutted our social safety net, the horses are out of the barn and it will be much harder to undo a law.

I wish them luck, as I said many times in the past for different issues, TIME MATTERS.

The vast majority of the people were behind a shutdown in March to protect our social safety net.
