2 days agoI think this is absolutely the correct interpretation of this. Shutting down the government because repubs don’t want to play ball weeks before an election is only likely to hurt their chances.
It matters very little if I or any of us have faith in the republican voter base and rather it matters if the Republican leadership thinks it could matter to a significant enough portion of their base that they should avoid a shutdown.
Also, I find the rest of your comment to be quite insightful. I do think most of the Republican leadership are still all in on Trump, however I wouldn’t be surprised if there some back up plans in the works.
