Kelley and every other Senator knows a shutdown will happen. The Democrats have boxed the Pubbies in a corner. Damned if they do...damned if they don’t. These cowardly GOP Senators just wanted to make sure the House got the blame.
If they had followed Cruz and left the heat on the Senate then at least the Senate would have been blamed for the shutdown with some of the heat falling on their leader Dingy Harry.
The GOP-e are dumber than rocks.
Anything the House sends to the Senate will now be tabled. The Senate will insist they have already voted and the hot potatoe and blame stays with Boehner.
I bet Boehner folds.
I'm happy to be wrong, but I don't think so.
