“.....The [White House] meeting also showed that Senate Republicans are not in the loop on what the House is negotiating, as they spent much of the time pressing Obama for details about the House’s plan.”
If this is true (not saying it isn’t and wouldn’t surprise me if it is, but I take a lot of what I read from the LSM with a grain of salt), then heads should roll in the leadership in the Senate (are you listening McConnell???).
After the Pubbies in the House have been holding fairly firm (except for a few Dem/RINOS like King of NY) and Cruz, Lee and Paul have been fighting - why the heck isn’t the Pubbie leadership of both houses getting together to discuss a plan??? What kind of strategery is that?
“The uncertainty of the talks is frustrating Senate Republicans, who want the crisis resolved as soon as possible......”
I think they are generalizing on Republicans want this resolved - they should change that to RINOs want it resolved: McCain, Graham, Ayotte, Johnson, Corker, Cornyn, Flake, Collins - probably missing a few more.
I suspect that Cruz, Lee, Sessions (AL), and to a lesser extent Rubio and Paul wouldn’t mind continuing the fight. IIRC there were 14 Senate Republican patriots that voted No on cloture.
The elite don’t like it when rabble rousers come to town. It is between elections. This is supposed to be the time when the REAL RINOS get together with the Rats and do all their crappy deals while flyover watches American Idol. Except the Tea Party don’t watch American Idol. We are getting p’od from all the pissed on we been getting.
I don't believe that for a minute. What Repub, in their right mind, would ask the Zero King to tell them what their own party is doing? Do they think he would tell them the truth? Has Obama ever told the truth?
Media spin, pure and simple!
