    There doesn’t have to be. But there is because Republicans want it. They love the media circus. They love the leverage to play hardball. They refuse to pass measures that prevent it in the future. And with our current form of government, it would take 60 senate votes to pass something like fixing shutdowns, which aren’t there.
