The Huffington Post's Senior Political Editor Howard Fineman appeared Wednesday night on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews" along with Politico's Jonathan Allen to discuss the current budget fight and the possibility of a government shutdown.
Fineman explained, "the Republicans are now trying to look like they're the reasonable ones here" by offering a short budget extension with spending cuts and daring the President to veto it.
Fineman also said he thinks Democrats may be pressured to vote for this Republican budget extension.
