2. But Obama has caved to their demands time and time again at the disgust of his base

The clear CR has the Republican's budget numbers.

For goodness sake, Obama sold the Democrats down the river time and again to meet the demands of the Republicans (ACA is one horrible example--it is the Republicans' healthcare plan) and yet the Republicans never budge. If we must bring the nation and the world to their knees not to cave into Republican blackmail, then better now than later. That their blakmail has worked in the past is the very reason we are where we are now. It will only get worse.
