But Democrats’ shifting position underscores how the party has maintained the upper hand in the shutdown, at least politically speaking.”“Sure, Democratic leaders who once scorned shutdowns have done a completely 180 — thanks to the pressure from the base. Nonetheless, the party isn’t catching much heat and currently feels zero pressure to cut a deal.”
