Given that, play this out - after the Democrats reject the CR, what do you think happens?
I might think that with enough "clear messaging" from the dems about why they chose to shut the gov't down, perhaps there would be enough public outrage at the GOP that they would be forced to make concessions to the dems.
But perhaps that's a pure pipe dream on my part, and who knows how long it could take. I have to wonder what Pelosi et. al. thought the end game would be.
In the end, I'm glad I'm not a politician.
PS - one thing I don't understand is how the dems can say the GOP has the power to do pass whatever they wany with no dem support at all. That's true in the House, but if the GOP Senate doesn't have the pure number of votes needed to prevent the filibuster, how can they pass a bill at least some dems don't vote for it? Is the filibuster removable by less than 60 Senators?
