An Ill-Conceived Shutdown StrategyDemocratic leadership still keeps playing normal politics in times that are anything but. But, instead, they have chosen to play normal politics and talk about health care and bipartisanship. How many GOP Senators are going to lose their nomination fights, let alone their general elections, over these health care provisions? Health care subsidies, as important as they may be, are not going not ignite much passion in the public. Instead, we get very normal, very anodyne bleating about health care spending and, Heaven help me, bipartisanship.
