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.

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.

3. Schumer's Democrats are using a pile of myths to support his shutdown

From The Hill: The Democrats’ spin is not adding up.

(in wheelchair), and fellow senators (left to right) Bob Kerrey, D-Neb.; John McCain, R-Ariz.; Charles Hagel, R-Neb.; John Kerry, D-Mass.; and Chuck Robb, D-Va. walk along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall behind the wreath they would lay to commemorate the 15th anniversary of groundbreaking for the memorial. All six senators served in Vietnam, and Cleland lost both legs and an arm in that war. (Rick McKay/Washington Bureau)
