Q6 How long will the shutdown will last?
Forecast as of New Years Eve 2018 (What’s this?)
I think it breaks the record and lasts over 21 days. But I’m not sure how much longer after that. The contingencies to watch for is “deals” being offered that clearly don’t have the blessing of the base are DOA. For example Graham’s Wall-for-Dreamers is certainly feasible…within the walls of the Senate. But it would never fly on Talk Radio.
Result:
The Federal shutdown lasted until January 25th, or 35 days, making it the longest in US history.
Score: +1
Running Score: 5.5 out of 12
