There are now reportedly a total of 18 House Republicans ready to throw in the towel in the current battle over Obamacare in order to end the first government shutdown in 17 years. As TheBlaze reported on Tuesday, Democrats needs just 17 GOP lawmakers to defect from the majority of Republicans in the House to pass a “clean” continuing resolution that fully funds both Obamacare and the federal government.

“Just be sure to post your apologies here next week when the shutdown is still going on.”
Sure and you’ll do the same when the GOP caves right...in public.
LOL! You still don’t get what is happening.
Those tweets and statements from congressmen and their staffs are mostly benign - - just guys trying to invoke the “nobody wants a shutdown” mantra.
(yawn)
A few did really bother me, though. Jon Runyan is a real disappointment. I thought he had more guts.
“LOL! You still don’t get what is happening.”
I guess not. I get that you’re like a Cowboys fan.
You’ll find some way to claim victory no matter what else happens.
You have a team sport mentality that doesn’t seem reality based. You loudly crow about what you think will happen, based on what you wish would happen. You also seem very emotional.
We’ll know soon enough how it turns out.
I don’t expect the Dems are going to walk away from what they see as their main domestic accomplishment.
I really do expect Repub congressmen in Blue & Purple states to start peeling off.
I mostly look at what’s happened in the past.
I realize it’s difficult to see clearly when you’re emotionally vested in an issue.
Have a good week. Try not to take it personally.
Wait, Pat Meehan wants to give in, capitulate, and then have a meaningful negotiation? You’re given in completely. What’s to negotiate?
Better start working on your apology, snarkyboy! It’s gonna take your brain some time to spin this one...
“Better start working on your apology, snarkyboy! It’s gonna take your brain some time to spin this one...”
We’ll see.
You’ll see...but I already know. ;-)
“You’ll see...but I already know. ;-)”
Of course you do. I hear the Cowboys have a lock on the Superbowl too. Lol
How’s that apology coming?! It’s going to take you some time to spin it, so better start working on yours now.
Just a heads up so that you aren’t caught unprepared...again.
Still stumbling over how you’re going to word your apology?!
Well, I can understand that it’s going to take *you* some considerable time to put together good spin...
