House GOP Out of Ideas to End Impasse

Byron York: “As the partial government shutdown enters its third day, many House Republicans are determined to keep fighting, even though they see no plausible way out of the current impasse, because they’ve come so far they cannot imagine backing down now.”

Said one GOP House member: “I think there’s a sense that for us to do a clean CR now — then what the hell was this about? So I don’t think it’s going to end anytime soon.”

Washington Post: “Now that Boehner has survived several days of the shutdown, his
friends say there is no point in moving a clean funding resolution.”
