They don't NEED dem votes to do what they want. Dems should wait till the 5th of Nov (after WIC bennies shut down), and then head home to their districts to hold town halls every week, do constituent work, etc, etc.

If trump wants the GOP message to be 'do what I demand or starve'...well, let them live that legislative truth, and see what happens.
