Margaret Hoover on the Gov’t Shutdown: Republicans Own the Gov’t, ‘They Just Have to Act Like They Can Govern’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HOOVER: "And also, Republicans own the government like Republicans have. The House Republicans have the presidency. They do have a majority in the Senate. Of course, they lack the 60 votes. I sort of worry what they‘re going to do with the filibuster in this moment. And if it gets even closer to them trying to break norms in the Senate. But they have leverage here. They just have to act like they can govern. And all they‘re demonstrating in this is that they actually can‘t use the levers of power effectively to get their policies down the road."
