Why do many in the GOP feel the need to take hostages now to get their demands met? Threatening a government shutdown or debt default as a way to get what you want is taking a hostage. Is this a strategy that the GOP will now use going forward because they are unable to win elections?

Oh, quit your partisan whining. The Republicans offered to fund all of the government but Obamacare. If the Democrats won't accept that, then they are just as much to blame as the Republicans. Your one-sided drivel is obvious and banal.

How about you win some elections before demanding your way or the highway. Throwing hissy fits about shutting down the government if you don't get your way like spoiled brats is no way to govern.

They control the House because of gerrymandering. House Democrats received a million more votes nationwide than House Republicans. House Republicans lost seats. House Democrats gained seats. Democrats gained seats in the Senate and retained the White House. The people sent a clear message back in November.
Yes they are. Threatening a government shutdown or a debt default is making demands. I don't know what world you live in, but those are rather extreme measures for not making any demand
