38 House Republicans Give Trump the Finger in Shutdown Vote

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "Nearly every single House Democrat just voted against government funding and to shut down the government," he wrote.
42% : But GOP lawmakers are frustrated with how the speaker has handled government spending negotiations.
41% : A shutdown would almost certainly cause travel delays during one of the busiest seasons of the year, experts say -- an ignominious note for Trump to begin his second term on.
41% : Trump also echoed the sentiment in a statement, noting that nearly all of the party's congresspeople voted against the measure.
30% : A bill that Trump had demanded -- which included raising the debt limit -- went down in flames on the House floor with 38 Republicans joining Democrats to oppose it.
24% : Trump applauded Johnson for following his orders and putting his bill to a vote.
23% : Trump killed House Speaker Mike Johnson's initial bipartisan plan, which was expected to easily coast through Congress despite facing backlash from conservatives.
22% : Senior Republicans have told Trump that shutting the government down would be bad for the start of his second term, with it potentially delaying key parts of his agenda, a GOP lawmaker told the Daily Beast.
20% : Even though Thursday's floor action was a setback for Trump, Johnson's leadership position is simultaneously in jeopardy.
20% : And several centrists said they felt they should have put his initial bipartisan plan on the floor on Wednesday before Trump could take to social media to blow it up.
13% : Trump threw Johnson a surprise curveball by demanding lawmakers increase the U.S. debt ceiling -- an issue that previously had nothing to do with negotiations to avoid a government shutdown.
8% : A government shutdown is looking increasingly likely after an embarrassing number of House GOP rebels bucked Donald Trump Thursday night.
