The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters. Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further. It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing
An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight.  They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more.  Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.
