'Elect Republicans, And...' Rachel Maddow Will Tell You What Happens Next

... "they will burn the place down." None of this is new, says Rachel Maddow: Republicans have been promising for 2-3 years that if they are elected, the way they will govern is that they will shut down the government, and then... and then... well, there didn't seem to be a Republican consensus about governance, only about shutting down the government. Maddow's report was aired about two hours before the shutdown began, but there is considerable insight in her segment. I wish I could say that about anything Republicans have done or said since the shutdown began.
