This should be interesting. Of these, the only one I support enough to want to shut down govt. over it is getting planned parenthood defunded.

This, especially since shutting down the government is an incredibly ineffective strategy.

Normally none, but if there is a solid legal reason to impeach any President, of course it's something that needs to be done even at the cost of a shutdown.

Theoretically the government should never be shut down for any reason, but after the Cruz Debacle, liberals get 1 freebie. Make it count.

Not even if for a policy that will save lives and people's wallets? (aka implementing universal health care)

That's not how it works - and it's certainly not how the public would see it.

No, frankly. If you can't do it through "normal" means you never had a real chance.

WI: To stop Trump's monstrous budget.

Any one of its many provisions, if standing alone, would be bad but not shutdown-worthy. But combined into one...

This whole "shutdown" talk is garbage. If we stopped having the expectation that everything gets funded in one huge omnibus appropriations bill, only things that are popular would be able to get funded, through individual appropriations bills, with everything else being left to the states.
