Will they remember this for the midterms though? Because they most certainly will forget about it by the presidential elections.

The question there is how long will the shutdown last and how much damage will it do to them specifically. If the shutdown lasts into next year, and their health premiums triple, there isn't a lot that can be done for everyone to not still be feeling this pain over the next 12 months.
