The Republicans are already facing huge demographic ramifications for their failure to endear themselves to minorities and also their immigration policy. They looks even more self-serving and anti-democratic due to the recent shutdown.

Heard a good analogy about this. What the republican party is doing is much like a union going on strike, then blowing up the factory. This won't achieve their aims, is going to leave them looking stupid and is going to hurt them far more in the long run.

Hopefully this will get resolved before the 17th otherwise they may end up going down as the party that caused a world wide recession
