“GOP leaders are scrambling to demonstrate they can govern effectively since winning both chambers of Congress. The 16-day shutdown of 2013 damaged the Republican brand, if only temporarily, and both [House Speaker Paul] Ryan [R-WI] and [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell [R-KY] want to avoid a similar crisis this year. Complicating their task, conservatives in both chambers are pressuring leadership to include a wish list of conservative policy riders.” - The Hill, 12/14/2015 |
