Despite President Trump’s own declaration early on that he’d be “proud” to shut down the government over funding the U.S.-Mexico border wall, the political loser could end up being the Democrats, Washington Post syndicated columnist Marc Thiessen argued on Wednesday's "Special Report" All-Star panel. It has almost been a week since the partial government shutdown began and it seems that neither the president nor congressional Democrats are backing down in this fight. For the short term, he owns the shutdown because he claimed the mantle of the shutdown. He also told the panel that we’ll find out next week if Thiessen’s prediction was right. So now it’s your shutdown.’ But it is going to get serious in about a week.”
