If we are standing in a hole that’s 15 feet deep, we just dug another 14 feet 6 inches deeper. We know we have to climb out of the hole but aren’t smart enough to figure out that we have to stop digging first.
Republican cowardice is understandable. See, if government “shuts down” then the bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the Democrat party base - - the only people who would actually notice a government shutdown - - will howl like no tomorrow and never vote for Republicans again.

Your head will explode if you try to figure out Republican cowardice.
