Why Did Obama Force House Republicans to Shut Down the Government?

McKay Coppins would like you to know that Both Sides Do It. Look, Marge, it takes two sides — one to try to extort and one to refuse to be extorted. Both are equally responsible for the decision of one party to shut down the government and to threaten to blow up the world economy in order to extract unilateral concessions.

I can’t wait for Coppins’s next exciting report in which Ted Cruz’s staff explains that Ted Cruz is a political genius who was right about everything.
