The Most Irresponsible Officials In Washington DC Are The 'Moderate' Republicans
The most dangerous group in Congress is moderate Republicans, many from the northeast, who could reopen the government and break extremists' grip on their caucus' agenda, but choose not to.
According to the Washington Post, 21 House Republicans say they are prepared to vote for a "clean" continuing resolution to reopen the government. Together with Democrats, this is enough votes to pass the bill that has already passed the Senate, reopen the government, and stop the madness.
Yet these Republicans who publicly say they favor a clean CR have repeatedly voted with their extremist colleagues to prevent it from coming to a vote.
If moderate House Republicans don't want a government shutdown and favor a clean CR, why have they passed up on ways to end the shutdown?

Business Insider, via Yahoo Finance, goes on to identify three ways in which moderate Republicans, working with Democrats, could end the shutdown showdown. Might this happen? Thoughts?
