The Republicans must be crazy.

The Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. They have now done so for exactly a year. They knew this day would come. And they could not prevent a shutdown?

And they actually blame the Democrats???

If the president had any kind of leadership skills, if he had engaged himself in the effort and lobbied in Congress and the Senate for votes, if he had put forth a plan and an agenda, this could have easily been done.

But the president is lazy and inept.

The Republicans must be crazy.
