Dems are being told to appoint those that will hold firm on entitlements.
So what will happens is
6 dems who will demand a tax hike
and either a RINO caves
or the trigger is enacted and Granny gets it.
Same threat they had this time.
The good news is that this will come out and people will start to understand in time for Boehner to get thrown out.
You left out some things.
7 Repubs could demand a cut. If a Dem doesn't cave, yes he causes granny to "get it" as you put it. I don't think the Dems are going to move too quickly to cause granny to get it.
