Exact quote from the video

> returning back to Detroit this morning after the republicans failed to show up in the US house. We got to make sure Americans have the healthcare that they need, and if that means we've got to shut this government down than so be it.

Not sure where you are getting the illegal immigrants stuff from.

And both sides have the power to avoid the shut down by coming to an agreement with the other side.

If democrats are intentionally shutting down the government to keep healthcare for Americans, republicans are equally as intentionally shutting down the government down to oppose healthcare for Americans.

Why is the democrats fault and not the fault of the republicans who voted against the budget? They could have prevented the shutdown all by themselves.

Illegal immigrants are ineligible for the ACA subsidies that the Dems are fighting to keep.

Are you this dense? ACA subsidies cannot be taken by illegal immigrants.

Your hatred of people is diluting your assessment of why China is rising. China is rising because it is not being run by a narcissistic tyrant. It is run by people who are actively trying to fund more science, industry, taxing the rich, and by being a globally reliable partner - much more than Trumpistan is.

    Well it is run by one tyrannical party if not a single tyrant. Maybe that is the model we are all going towards.

      Did you just describe communism? Republicans are the biggest communists in America.
