McConnell’s Exit Interview

NRO

Quote:

“A government shutdown is off the table,” he says, looking ahead to a possible impasse early next year. “We’re not going to do it.”...I’m in a weaker position when the House can’t act...one thing that’s made it hard is the inability of the House of Representatives, on these occasions, to send us legislation that’s more robust, proposals that have more of the things that I and my colleagues would prefer. We’d have been in a much stronger position if they had been able to do that.

Comment:

McConnell didn't think the shut down was going to help the GOP.  There is no stomach for combat in those guys.  They are more interested in the show than in the dough.  You can't win if you won't fight.  It's not going to happen by itself.
