An out-of-control GOP is the party of nonstop national crisis

Julian Zelizer : GOP is careening toward internal crisis and a damaging government shutdown.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has blown his internal credibility to bits, Zelizer says.

It isn’t even clear that a sizable minority of GOP lawmakers want to keep the government open, he says.

Max Burns is a veteran Democratic strategist and founder of Third Degree Strategies.

Burns: The Republican Party is now undeniably the party of nonstop national crisis.

That constant chaos will weigh heavily on voters’ minds next year , Burns says.

Burns says the GOP has given up on governing in favor of the easy work of grievance politics.
