Episode notes
Democrats Created Their Own Uncontrollable Base
- Jesse Kelly argues Democrats used prolonged Trump-focused messaging to motivate their base for a decade.
- That strategy created a base the leadership now struggles to control when demands escalate.
Shutdown Was A Leverage Play With High Risk
- Kelly frames the shutdown as Democrats using leverage to claim a win against Trump despite hurting the public.
- He warns playing political 'chicken' risks national harm if neither side yields.
Political Outrage Often Signals Internal Pressure

- Jesse says such performances expose leaders to calls for removal if they can't hold their caucus.
