We’re just four votes away from prevailing on the cloture vote. THis thing could unravel in the senate.

I guess I should just shut up...Boehner did the right thing. Let’s support him...

Now we will see what will happen in the Senate. I find it hard to believe that we won’t get a few more Senators behind Cruz this time around.

I’m starting to smell a win for our team here.

In case you missed it, this delay is what the democrats wanted in the first place, it delays voters from the pain of Obamacare until after the election, so to support Bone-us is stupid.

"We’re just four votes away from prevailing on the cloture vote. THis thing could unravel in the senate."

You are thinking of the final vote to amend and send back to the House. The cloture vote was 79 to 19. We lost badly. This will rise or fall on Boehner's willingness to stand on some ground, almost any ground, and Reid's intransigence in saying he will not accept anything but a clean CR as passed by the Senate.

If I am not mistaken, I believe Joe Manchin (D-WV) has already indicated he would vote to delay the mess.
