I was very pleased with the vision that Ezra Klein has joined the ranks of those who believe that Democrats need to overcome a fight against the end of this month. I have different differences with Klein, some are rooted in politics and other positions, and mood. But its effect on the democratic elite is unparalleled. His words are really important. It is important enough to make me think Democrats in the Senate may already turn in time to make a difference here. Its basic points are not surprising. It is no longer any of the arguments to stand behind in March, which was at least controversial after that. (that it This column In the times I am talking about if you do not read or read about it.)
There are some follow -up points that I would like to do on this topic. One of them is the idea that the Democrats make a decision to “close the government.” In the sense of this is a semantic point. But some semantic points are very important, and this is one of them. You really need to get this right. If Democrats do what an increasing number of external observers say they must actually, they do not make a decision to close the government. In fact, they want to avoid it. Sometimes when there is a closing confrontation, many Republicans really want the government to close itself because they are hostile to most of the government’s things. None of this applies to Democrats. They preferred a lot that Trump agreed to their demands and threatened to close it was never fulfilled.
