They are very good at politics.
My prediction — Obama has a plan blessed by Reid and Pelosi. He’s going to propose it when the “talks” with Boehner break down.
The deal will be sold by the media as a “compromise”, and the media will explain how wonderful it is that Obama and the Democrats were willing to compromise even when the republicans wouldn’t budge.
Then they will show up with 51 votes in the senate, and enough democrats in the house that they only need 40 republicans.
And then, Obama’s call tonight will make perfect sense — don’t block the vote.
Yep.
And if this time he doesn’t use every disciplinary method available on the RINOs to keep them from voting for it Boehner will be destroying the Republican Party for years to come.
It will be interesting.
