The bottom line is it is politics as usual. Few, if any, Republicans have stood by Donald Trump past the repeated failure of the Affordable Care Act overhaul. Why then, should he sign away 11th hour legislation to extend the debt ceiling — until an artificial date convenient for the GOP?

Congress has failed the President just as much — if not more — than he has failed the American people. It is CONGRESS who fashions legislation. In the words of U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, “We make law!” The Executive Branch is just a pen in hand. Seven and ½ months later, throw the Dems a bone, and see if THAT doesn’t light a fire under SOMEONE’s @ss. Well played.
