Will Minnesota’s Government shutdown be good or bad for G0P presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty? If so, why?

   Good I think. When he faced a shutdown, he eventually ended up having to balance the budget himself…line by line. The Liberals were furious….because he had cut THEIR programs as well as GOP programs. Pawlenty is not a flashy guy…i.e. no Don Trump….but he gets things done instead of just talking about it.

   Historically, it’s bad for the GOP…

   But this is a new time and era and both sides are going to be watching very close who is going to take the downfall here… once they sort out who they are going to exploit it.

   You need to take a step back and see which side at least tried to deal with the other… those will probably be the ones on the winning side.

   Oh sure, whenever a state government fails, its a great reflection on their leaders. NOT!

   Tim Pawlenty, is crap! He did a horrible job as governor.

   Bad. I saw in a Presidential Debate where he talked highly of his fiscal record and how he helped Minnesota for years and even said they were set for this year. But clearly he was wrong.
