    If this shitshow didn’t have drastic consequences, and if Republican voters were capable of thought, this would be hilarious news. As it is, it’s becoming increasingly likely that the Republicans will not be able to find anyone to act as their Speaker, and will not work with the Democrats just to get someone in the seat to pass legislature. That makes the threat of the looming shutdown very real and terrifying, and Republican voters will just keep voting for this kind of obstructive nonsense.

      All the Trump supporters I’ve talked to have been cheering this on. They don’t believe there will be actual consequences to a government shutdown. They don’t realize that the adults in the room have been preventing them from feeling consequences for years.
