    I agree with the main point of OW-8 – there’s never really been a penalty to Republicans for shutting down the government. Remember Ted Cruz’s filibuster shutdown? The pundits were all SURE that Republicans would take a drubbing for it the next election – they picked up house and senate seats instead. Ditto the most recent two shut downs. It cost a ton of money to partially turn the government off and on, but there’s no political downside, nor will there be this time. Afterall, Republicans seem to have convinced a lot of Americans that the federal government is their enemy.Report
