GOP pollster Whit Ayres said the Democratic base will only be angrier when they realize Republicans, who control Congress, are not backing down.

“Eventually, the Democrats are going to end up folding, because they don’t have any real leverage,” Ayres said. “Fighting without leverage is fruitless. And what they’re doing is fruitless, because they’re going to end up caving, and they’re going to antagonize their base even more.”
