Julian Zelizer : What do you do when adult elected officials suddenly start behaving like screaming toddlers and teenage bullies in the halls of Congress ? Zelizer asks: Is there any authority that can step in and quiet the tantrums? Something disturbing and bizarre is happening within the Republican Party , which has now viciously turned on itself.
The bad blood within the party is boiling over, says Julian Zelizer .
Zelizer says the GOP is staging an institutional tantrum because they can't always get their way.
The good news is that in spite of all this drama, they managed to pass a short-term continuing resolution without spending cuts, thereby avoiding a government shutdown.
