You know in many ways...
If the Republican’s were smart...the shutdown catastrophe...could be turned into a real win-win for Republicans and the Tea Party.
This was in no way ready to go live for the American public. From defunding this grievous error of a website, with non-background checked navigators, to as demonstrated a darn good reason to delay the whole thing...man this should be low hanging fruit!
A perfect...We told America moment!
Last night on FOX there was discussion of Rubio planning to introduce a bill on Monday to delay the individual mandate for a year (which the GOP has been promoting ever since the business mandate was delayed several months ago). At first we were thinking this was a bad idea by Rubio, because it would postpone the crash and burn of 0bamacare. Then thinking it through, consider that it might be a BRILLIANT move by Rubio, due to the bill will never be passed, AND, just the introduction of it will preclude 0bama from coming out in a few weeks and saying that he has decided the right thing to do (due to the failed website and sign-up numbers) is to delay the individual mandate.
(Not that he is supposed to have the authority to change the law at his personal whim, right?)
I think the GOP has nothing to lose, and it will FORCE the crash and burn scenario to play out. And yes, then the GOP can even say they have tried and tried again to delay, defund, defuse, etc., and not been able to succeed. So this is owned entirely by 0bama and the DNC.
