Republican leadership does not want a shutdown. Democrats dont want a shutdown. There may be some drama. but we intend to keep the government open and avoid shutdown. slamdown politics. I hoped the Senate had learned its lesson in October 2013. when Republicans shut down government over the Affordable Care Act. or this February 2015. when Republicans threatened the Department of Homeland Security with shutdown over immigration policy. Senate Democrats wont be threatened and bullied into accepting poison pill riders. Serious policy issues like family planning and reproductive health deserve serious debate rather than becoming an "add on" rider to a funding bill.
