President threatens Government shut down over immigration. Good idea?

The President took to Twitter over the weekend threatening to shut down the Government if Democrats don't give him the votes he needs to get the border wall and other immigration measures.

His comments have certainly made some Republicans nervous. Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) said: “I don’t think it will be helpful so let’s try to avoid it.”

Back in February the President did make a similar threat but ultimately signed a spending Bill that runs through September. As Republicans prepare to extend that beyond the Mid-Terms the President has spoken again on the subject.

Back in March when signing that Bill he commented: "I said to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again."

So what do you think? Good idea?
