Your start, “the only way to win...”. Not when the elections are Venezuala style elections. The next one will be Azerbaijan style. The “way to win” is right here, right now. The House has the purse. Use it. Turn the g-d boat around right damn now. If the GOP doesn’t do this they are DONE. The next stop on this train is a damn ugly place (IMHO).

The plan you describe is obviously the hope of Bernanke, et al. That way lies perdition. The Soros’s of the world have already leeched onto that tit and will impoverish generations of Americans.

The problem with your approach is your willingness to ignore public opinion. Rasmussen has a good rolling poll. Before shutdown and MSM war on GOP, 40 percent of public would vote GOP for Congress and 40 percent for Dems. After shutdown, 38 percent would vote GOP for Congress and 47 percent would vote Dem. MSM attack on GOP is working. That is the reality. GOP will lose VA governor race because shutdown affected Norther VA voters. Wall Street does not like disruptions to profits as gov operates budget in fits and starts. That is the political terrain the GOP must fight in. There is nothing wrong with conservative principles, but war is fought on the strategic level and tactical level. One must be successful in both endeavors to win. Obamacare flaws and sticker price was the GOP ticket to victory in 2014 and even POTUS in 2016. The shutdown was a PR ambush the GOP ran headlong into. The Dems with the MSM were more then glad to cut the GOP down in the kill zone. The only hope is the shutdown will be settle and the public will forget about it six months from now and Obamacare problems will take front and center.
