I don’t think they should got to this at all...bad feeling about this...Bos definately going to save face about transparency if this is a go...also he can claim the republicans were part of the bi-partisan vote....that he gave them a chance.
But if they don’t go he can still play this to his advantage....that the republicans couldn’t stand the transparency, that they had no plans or ideas to present etc.
This thing really smells bad.
I think that the plan I suggested is the only way to turn this lose-lose proposal for the pubs into a probable win or at least a draw. It’s the only way to avoid a “damned if you do, damned of you don’t scenario” zero has boxed them into. They should, at the very least, lay their plan out to the broadest public possible - then skip the meeting, asking zero to respond to it there, if he wishes to.
