Republican Strategist John Feehery and Howard Fineman went on Hardball Thursday to discuss the possibility of a government shutdown being pushed by Congressional Republicans. Republicans are prepared to shutdown the government if funding for the Obamacare law is allowed.
Hardball host Chris Matthews asked Fineman if any conservative congressperson would lose their seat in the House if Republicans succeed and the government comes to a screeching halt.
Fineman toed the timid line, saying yes, the possibility was there for some Republicans to lose, but the words of the Republican strategist John Feehery stood out.
If there is a default, we lose the House of Representatives. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.
