re: #74 Targetpractice

They’re probably figuring that stuff will be the subject of the talks that the White House and Congress want to have, so why try to jump the gun? Get the CR/DL mess cleared off the deck and at least an agreement in principle to talk, then begin the real work of hashing out a long-term deal.

My guess is they might create a deadline/doomsday switch scenario like the sequester thing. A clean CR in exchange for an arbitrary deadline date. If a negotiated settlement isn’t reached by the date then something awful automatically happens.
