6. That is very likely where this is headed

Oct 2013

the breaking point was letting the shutdown happen.

I had the delusion, apparently, that the older line Rs would not allow it, with them being worried about politics and in their mind thinking the shutdown in the 90s was bad for the politically.

But, once the decision was driven by the far right, it likely will crash and burn by the far right.

Even if the media spins it 50/50, they are going to lose if they bring up articles of impeachment for the President using the 14th amendment to pay our bills ...

They probably have the House to gerrymanders to lose it, but it won't be good for them in the Presidential or senate races ...
