He thinks the Dems' long game plan is to sink both Trump/Pence and make Pelosi the POTUS. He and his wife are both government employees not being paid w/ the shutdown. So it's not hot talk. It's affecting them personally. They are really worried b/c they suspect the GOP knows that's the Pelosi/Schumer plan. Which is why the shutdown continues...
Pelosi and the democratic machine have no designs on the presidency for her. I suggest you encourage your friends to do anything they can do to pressure an end to the republican shutdown.
The democrats would end the shutdown with no strings tomorrow if the republicans would live up to their word.
Your friends should be seething with anger towards the republicans who are refusing to pay them for their jobs.
