Nancy Pelosi is saying the republicans want to shut down government.

about the debate. Often the debate is won on the assumptions. Glad to see they fighting for the assumptions the public will make. GOP tried to set up the assumption that they wanted to fund government to take the 'gop is defunding governement' off the table. Nice try!!
