Mass Confusion on How to End Shutdown

Jonathan Swan: “I’ve spent the weekend calling Trump administration and congressional sources to get a read on what’s going to happen with the government shutdown. Nobody could confidently describe the exit ramp, and it seems there’s no immediate end in sight.”

“The only thing everyone agreed on was that Trump is so far dug in that there’s little if any chance he’ll reopen the government without a concession from Democrats.”

Said one GOP lawmaker: “Normally at this time in a shutdown, we know what the exit is and we’re just waiting for the clear moment. But there isn’t a clear path to an exit.”
