The Look of Worry and Deep Concern and Rightly So: Oops

This is Not a Look of Lust or Joy 

The headlines: GOP Leaders Begging to Stop Shutdown Madness

Heart of the story: Fresh off a huge midterm victory, Republican leaders are facing strong conservative pressure to return to brinkmanship and threaten a government shutdown to stop President Barack Obama's upcoming executive actions on immigration.

Eager to avoid another fruitless shutdown like the one in 2013, which was over Obama-care and achieved little other than damage the GOP brand, senior Republicans are looking for ways to pull conservatives back from the ledge and avoid using the government funding process to overturn Obama's actions.

An old Marine expression applies here and says: These two couldn’t scratch their own asses with a handful of fishhooks. Yet, the public just gave them more power. I seriously wonder why.

Watching the internal warfare of this much-divided GOP about to develop should be a hoot. Stay tuned.
