U.S. Government shuts down.

[Lissa]

They ran their entire campaign on killing Obamacare, got elected by the 48% of people who think likewise, and they tried 50 times. Now they shut down the government because of it, even if it means they tick off the other 48% of people who like government.

Not quite. They got there because the shameless amount of Gerrymandering performed with the 2010 census. Every state did it, it's just that Democratic leaning states did it less (or less efficiently) than Republican leaning states. A large number of states have been Gerrymanded to such an extreme that the Republicans have tied up their states and the House until the next census in 2020.
