Republicans are idiots. They want the Obamacare battle to be on the debt ceiling and not the CR. That happens in December, they will be back on the cliff, Obama will toss the pubs a bone and cut more defense spending and Obamacare will stay in.
Then they will all take a great picture about how they negotiated and did something bi-partisan which the Conservatives wouldn’t do.
And with that we are all screwed.
