Technically Hastert didn’t invent the rule, Gringrich used it before him. But it is fitting that House Republicans are destroying he government with a rule named after a child molester.

McConnell could bring a bill to the floor anytime. He and Ryan are just unwilling to do what it takes to earn democratic votes in a midterm year. The primaries will be brutal regardless.

Yeah, but if Trump *really* wanted a deal, he could embarrass Ryan and House Rs via twitter. Or just, you know, give them a call? That's why this is

Sounds like Trump might want a deal but “Trump,” as represented by the WH staff, may not?

Who could possibly be surprised: the Freedom Caucus with Chief of Staff John Kelly and Senator Tom Cotton egging them on. It's hopeless.

Truly this is never stressed as it should be. And we should not use the ridiculous terminology “Freedom Caucus”. Tea party, or obstructionist caucus would be accurate.

Ryan didn't get a vote last night. The Senate Dems could have simply voted for what was in front of them. They chose, instead, to shut down the government.
