As the government shutdown continues, there are a few in the GOP in the House that are saying enough is enough. Over a dozen GOP House members have said that they'll vote for a clean CR if it came up for a vote. Less than a dozen more, and the clean CR would come up for a vote. But why would a few Congressmen go against their party? Simply, these Congressmen are mainly from the northeast, although some are from the west and the mid-west, and they know that every day they agree to keep the government shutdown, they lose thousands voters. And these voters won't just not vote for them, but they won't vote for any GOP candidate for years. So, to them, the question is, do you stay with our party now and ensure the GOP becomes a regional party, or do they do what their constituents wants and stay relevant in politics?
Every day the GOP keeps the government stays shutdown, the GOP is losing voters in the northeast, the west, and the mid-west, and Congressmen there can see it. So, is the GOP trying to be a regional party that can't win national elections, or is that just a bi-product of their stupidity?
