Earth to Morris. There ain’t going to be no cuts. It’s only a bunch drama queen pols “talking the talk” for photo and soundbite ops.
Yeah, you’re right. And even though I think he is a smart guy, Morris, no slouch in the drama queen department himself, has a way of making these somewhat stunning predictions as a means of attention-getting (kind of like Ann Coulter)
In any cluster of Dick Morris predictions, ONE of them will be right. I’ll definitely give him that. However, when he issues only ONE prediction, it’s nothing but a crapshoot.
There are going to be cuts and Morris, like a stopped clock, is right in his analysis.
The GOP has to play it carefully. The last shut down the media shellacked them and they took the blame, not Clinton. They’ve learned from that and are using incrementalism to chop away at it. Don’t give the Dems a shot, just keep chipping away.
If, at the end of the day, we get a continuing resolution that is more than a month long without serious concessions, then you can cry foul.
