Will the left be blamed for the government shutdown?

As the government shutdown enters its third day, the left warns that come November midterms, voters will remember who stood for what. A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the shutdown.

Opinions from the left:

1. The shutdown is about who gets to be American

From The New Yorker: Why is the Dreamer issue tied to the shutdown? Because the fight isn’t over the budget, it’s about who will be let into the country in the future.

2. The shutdown shows both parties are trying to govern in a fantasy land

By Former U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor: The voters don’t care who shut the government down, but they will remember who opens it back up.
