GOP Not Likely To Pass CHIP OR DACA. They Will Be Primaries If They Do Vote For It.

Their base, billionaires, tea baggers, et al are against it. The GOP is still too liberal for these people. They believe if they make the poor and minorities miserable enough they will leave or go aways.

The GOP just does not believe in ANY participation by government in health care. For Anyone.

7. In The End They Still Ended Up In Control. Remember The Dems Lost Ground In Off Year Elections.

The Democrats still lost a lot of ground in 2010 and 2014. Yes Obama won election but he was still obstructed and denied a Supreme Court appointment. And I do not see that the shut down hurt them that much.
