"Maybe they should ditch the attacks and consider cooperation.

Nothing else seems to be working for them."

This assumes that members of the Republican Caucus have the interest of the Republican party in mind. I suspect the overwhelming majority in fact do not. What they are gunning for are their own personal media careers, which is much better pursued by fighting over stupid stuff. As long as that incentive structure holds, they won't co-operate. I suspect the only real chance we have is in the 48 or so hours before a shutdown, there *might* be enough external pressure to drive them to avert disaster, but I'm not really sure about that either.
