I had some further conversations this afternoon about the Dems strategy on the coming shutdown fight. They basically just confirmed the outlines of what I discussed in the two posts I did earlier today but with some additional detail and color. One point I heard from one of my colleagues is how much Senate Dems seem to be unified on this strategy. Even Elizabeth Warren, who recently had been arguing that there was no point participating in budget negotiations if the White House is not following the budget. She too seems to have shifted to the give us back the Obamacare subsidies position.
So what are Senate Democrats thinking exactly? How can this make sense?
I got asked this this afternoon. And I think it’s actually pretty clear what they’re thinking if you looking at all the pieces on the playing board. There’s actually a decent logic to it. I just think it’s a bad logic.
