MIKE SAYS ABOUT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN: “THE VICE PRESIDENT IS TALKING, BUT THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS STRANGELY BEEN EXCLUDED FROM MANY NEGOTIATIONS THIS TIME AROUND… UNLIKE TWO YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS TALKING WITH MITCH MCCONNELL. HE’S NOT DOING THAT NOW. THE LEVEL OF ESTRANGEMENT THIS TIME IS BEYOND ANYONE’S BELIEF AND THE HOUSE [OF REPRESENTATIVES] IS VIRTUALLY LEADERLESS—ALTHOUGH THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS KNOWN TO BE SOMEONE WHO MAKES A DEAL, WHO WANTS TO MAKE A DEAL. AND YET IT’S VIRTUALLY LEADERLESS BECAUSE OF A HANDFUL OF REPUBLICANS…. JUST IN TALKING TO PEOPLE, THE LEVEL OF ISOLATION FROM REALITY THAT A SMALL GROUP OF REPUBLICANS SEEM TO HAVE AND THE DEATH GRIP THEY SEEM TO HAVE ON JOHN BOEHNER’S SPEAKERSHIP IS REALLY STRIKING.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
