Neither want to back down to end the shutdown:
Derek Thompson sees it as “another reason why this shutdown isn’t likely to end any time soon”:
As Molly Ball reported today, Democrats told pollsters for The Economist that they value compromise, much more than Republicans conceded. But in this specific debate, at least one poll has Americans practically perfectly divided on the issue of compromise.
Collender bets that the shutdown will continue for some time:
I see the shutdown lasting at least another week…and two or three more weeks after that are becoming increasingly likely. I’m also raising the likelihood of the debt ceiling not being raised by October 17 — the date Treasury says it will be needed — to 1 in 3 instead of my previous estimate of 1 in 4.
