    Adjourning the House looked particularly bad, because it all but guaranteed a shutdown.

    I don’t think they’re concerned about that. They rely on the fact that most voters won’t know this and the Republicans can just run around saying “the Democrats forced us to shut down!” even though the Republicans were the ones who did it early and stopped any chance of continued negotiations.

    Republicans revel in the lack of nuanced discussion. :(
