Dems excel at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They made a sensational showing at the polls, America blames the GOP for the shutdown, and the Dems apparently want to jump in and bail out the GOP. Could they just not this one time?

Those generals, many trained at our finest military academies, take their oath to the Constitution very seriously. We'll see how that plays out. I suspect many will push back at illegal orders. They're in a tough position, as are we all.
