The Government's Impending Shutdown.

This morning the House passed a 1-week continuing resolution to keep the federal government open. In it, Republicans have a problem, however:

GOP Voting against their own bill

1. Rep. Sam Johnson 
2. Rep. Walter Jones Jr. 
3. Rep. Steve King
4. Rep. Stevan "Steve" Pearce 
5. Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. 
6. Rep. Robert Wittman 
7. Rep. Justin Amash
8. Rep. James Renacci 
9. Rep. Scott DesJarlais 
10. Rep. Thomas Massie 
11. Rep. Jim Bridenstine 
12. Rep. John Ratcliffe 
13. Rep. Alex Mooney 
14. Rep. Matt Gaetz
15. Rep. Trey Hollingsworth
16. Rep. Thomas Garrett

GOP Not Voting

1. Rep. Peter "Pete" King
2. Rep. Vern Buchanan
3. Rep. Jason Chaffetz 
4. Rep. Pete Olson
5. Rep. Raul Labrador 
6. Rep. Tom Marino 
7. Rep. Bill Flores
8. Rep. Richard Hudson
9. Rep. Markwayne Mullin
10. Rep. David "Dave" Brat 
11. Rep. Mike Bost
12. Rep. David Rouzer
13. Rep. Dan Newhouse
14. Rep. Mike Johnson

The highlighted names are members of either the Tea Party Caucus, the Freedom Caucus, or the Republican Study Committee, or otherwise voted against the last budget -- members that have advocated and pushed for a balanced budget.

The 2017 budget cannot be passed by Republican votes alone, and yet, Donald has made it clear that his sole negotiating tactic with Democrats is to extort them (I'll cut money off from the ACA if you don't fund my Wall!)

The government's impending shutdown is still coming. Republicans still haven't figured out how to govern.
