I predict the republicrats surrender meekly in this fight and in the process kill any chance for taking the senate and almost insure their loss of the house in 2014. The conservatives want to engage but why waste your powder and effort on the current rift-raft that is the GOP, they have not proven they are worthy of anything but contempt for their cowardice aside from Cruz, Paul, Lee...
I further predict Rove and the GOPe cram another presidential nominee like Romney down our throats with that old familiar cry, only they can win, blah-blah-blah, Christie etc... and the GOP only carries about 8 states with that ticket this time around. Sadly Hillary will be president in 2017 if we get another mush mouth RINO on the ticket.
The only way the republicrats take the senate and hold the house in 2014 is is obamacare is so horrid that democrats actually vote republican and that is not going to happen. Right now I am a conservative with no party and only a smidgeon of representation at the political table with Cruz and Paul.
When 40% of your population sees itself being an ATM and doormat for the rest of the population and held in utter contempt by the opposition party and worse still their own political party and has no representation at all you have an explosive situation that will eventually develop.
