The right is celebrating a win reopening the government
Let’s face it, ending the shutdown was a win for the Republicans. A roundup of editorials Tuesday looks at “Schumer’s Shutdown.”
Opinions from the right:
1. Chuck Schumer just lost the shutdown, bigly
From The Federalist: The Democrats miscalculated the power of a shutdown to energize the base.
Democrats have managed to accede to Republican demands, demoralize their energized base, give a disengaged president a win, and look like they held a meaningless three day government shutdown — all at once.

2. News media on Schumer Shutdown: Uh, what did this accomplish guys?
From Townhall: With an unclear message, Democrats gave Trump’s view on immigration a win.
Democrats have shut down our government in the interests of their far left base. They don’t want to do it but are powerless!

3. Schumer's Democrats are using a pile of myths to support his shutdown
From The Hill: The Democrats’ spin is not adding up.
