@MariaHill This shutdown is about Kevin McCarthy's ego. When the headlines say he cannot get a deal, they leave out the part that he could get a deal with Democrats, but it'll cost him his Speaker position. He could sideline the wackos in his party, but instead, prefers to cling to the illusion of power, while kowtowing to the worst members of Congress. History will not be kind. Voters shouldn’t be, either.
