This article is one reason why I’m not in favor of ending the filibuster right now, let the Democrats eat this shutdown.
If they ultimately cave, the leftwing base will go insane.
If the Republicans had a real fix for Obamacare that would lower the cost of health insurance and the Democrats would not go along, then ending the filibuster makes sense, ending it how basically bails out the Democrats from all the political fallout.
I don't think they'll cave.
Schumer would probably prefer to make a deal and move on but he's not allowed to do that.
