Brutal assessment. Much more at the link."

I do not doubt that caving now might well be the optimal political move.

And this is one reason"one of many"why I am not a politician.

Because if caving is the right thing to do now, it was the right thing to do 41 days ago and Democratic senators should have been willing to stand up and look their constituents in the eye and say, "I don't think we will get anything in a shutdown that exceeds in value the pain we will inflict." Some did this, and that actually took courage.

But if caving was not the right thing to do then, it is no more so the right thing to do now. Because nothing has changed except that reasonably anticipatable pain is now realized pain. It took exactly no imagination to fathom that this would happen.

Nothing else is really different.


This reeks of "Damned if they do, damned if they don't."
