From Mark Bear at MadMikesAmerica:
As we enter the second day of the inexplicable government shutdown, the following is taking place: Instead of resolving the issues it appears Republicans are spending an inordinate amount of time on messaging the public and telling them that Democrats are to blame for their inability to govern as a party.
Lest anyone forget, Republicans hold the majority in both the House and Senate in addition to their guy in the Oval Office. So, it’s a rather preposterous claim, so indulge me as I offer an alternative explanation.
While I cannot with any level of certainty, tell you that the shutdown was something the Republican party wanted, there are those who argue this very point.
