You know....
Whatever the Republican leadership does will be a lose-lose situation for them.
They do have to cater to Democrats' demands for the long-term spending bill eventually. They cannot pass a long-term spending bill without Democrats. Otherwise, they have to do this monthly thing for the rest of the year, which is impossible. But, what is maddening about Republicans is that it is "my way or highway". They just demand what they want and refuse to accept Democrats' demands. But, they can go only so far.
