My sentiments precisely!

“Never issue a threat you’re not prepared to in the end honor and deliver on,” Krauthammer said.
“And if the Republicans imagine they’re going to either stop the funding of the government or refuse the raising of the debt ceiling, they’re out of their minds.
It would be a catastrophe in the end. All the president has to do is wait and they’re going to cave.”

Definitely a lib. Working against us. /s

Well wait a minute. Is CK saying it is dumb because they’ll never do it, or is he saying it is dumb because Obamacare ought to be funded?

There is a difference.

My first reaction is to agree with you. But there are some problems here. I’m having a hard time finding fault with his arguments.

1. Never make a threat you won’t enforce. (The gambit will fail, as GOPe wussies will fold).

2. You can do a lot of things when you only hold the House, but governing is not one of them. (Correct, you can’t ram through legislation or write executive orders with only the House in your corner.)

I notice all the attackers of K are attacking him, not the argument. That is telling also. I don’t need to hear about him, I know all about him. I need to hear why his points above are wrong, specifically. Let’s see if I do.
