Commentary Magazine can't figure out what Democrats are thinking this weekend.
If Democrats have any strategic objective they intend to achieve as a result of this shutdown, it is a closely guarded secret. Right now, the party’s message is muddled—negotiations broke down over DACA recipients, children’s health, President Trump’s flighty negotiating style, Republican recalcitrance, and any number of prevailing conditions Democrats resent. Meanwhile, the party’s own members are itching to end the standoff, which has put children’s health in the balance—precisely what Democrats have long said they alone hoped to avoid.
