Re: Hot Mic Catches Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell Discussing Their Actual Government Shu
Obviously the GOP could end the shutdown tomorrow. Put the CR to an up or down vote. No need to strategize and say "over and over" again that the GOP is for negotiations.
So you tell why the GOP isn't doing that? The answer is obvious: they will do anything to kill the ACA and Rand and Mitch think (delusionally) that they can if they can repeat the lie enough that they're willing to negotiate (even though they're not)
Why is it killing the ACA and not ending the immediate problem of the shutdown as seems to be the case? Winning seems to be with regard to the shutdown, not the ACA. The ACA is a long-term project, not an immediate problem.
