Senate Democrats caved on the bill to keep the government open. Why? I have 3 reasons: 1) He didn’t have the votes. 2) They didn’t want this fight. 3) If it shuts down, does it start up again? Full vid is here: chriscillizza.substack.com/p/why-did-de...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
