And what if it fails in the hose at around 11:00 pm tonight?

Now, that would be a show worth watching.

Yes it would.

All I wanted from this shut down was for everyone in government to have to use obamacare just like the folks paying their salaries. And a delay of a year because the rollout of obamacare is so screwed up.

There is no excuse good enough to me for Republicans to cave without achieving either one of these things.
They're not the answer to the problem and so are part of the problem.

Sad to watch them give in so easily, but they did at least engage in a bit of brinksmanship this time.

I think the EBT snafu is what really made up their mind. That was a shot across the bow and an indication of how far Obama would go if they pushed him on this.

In the end, they feared what the madman would do. So they folded.
