"Remember, during the debt ceiling fight, S&P warned that there was a 50/50 chance of a downgrade if spending weren't cut by at least $4 trillion dollars."

The Republicans need to publicize that the spending cuts that the Dems were fighting were the cause of the downgrade, The Republicans offered plans to cut at least 4 trillion that S and P required and in the case of the Ryan Plan 6 trillion. And the Dems killed it.Perhaps this S and P downgrade mentioning the 4 trillion politically could force the Dems to increase the the 2.4 trillion they agreed to to 4 trillion.
