Do you think Congress will fail to pass a spending bill?

Unlikely. McConnell will bring the far right to heel if he needs to.

It's Boehner that needs to worry, surely?

I don't think Boehner and McConnell are aware of the existence of another chamber of Congress besides their own.

Shutdown imminent.

If the GOP really wants to lose 2016, then yes.

Oh yeah. They'll shut down the government over Planned Parenthood or whatever and this time with Republicans in the majority of both chambers, it will drag on a lot longer than the last one did.

Over Planned Parenthood funding? No way. Some fraction of the GOP caucus may try, probably egged on by Ted Cruz, but I think enough will recognize that this is not a practical way of stripping off their funding and would backfire spectacularly.

Because that just killed them in 2014?

Republicans can't count on low turnout to save their ass in 2016.
