I have Io say reading this thread is entertaining.
First, there will be no delay. The senate will reject this as early as tomorrow,
Second. The dens not being able to hold caucus together is funny. The one thing they are is unified. The republican caucus is cracked up and down. Should Boehner put a clean CR out there it would pass easy.
Third the Dems will be blamed. Read a poll. There are plenty out there all showing same thing. Congress specifically house republicans will be blamed:
Fourth. A shutdown is no big deal. This is said every time there is a shutdown. Yet one side caves pretty quick because real world problems come up. All Feds that work get IOU ‘s which trickle down to landlords, shop owners, grocers ect ect. I put the under over at a week. The r’s will cave and not only will we be no better but actually worse because we held out then caved and lost.
Lastly I know I will get flamed for this and I will fight for the cause. I am only telling you this. Mark this post and talk to me in 10 days. The train wreck coming is obvious. With that said I will climb in the engine with you. Maybe I am wrong.
I think you’re likely correct on all points. The GOPe has not shown enough backbone to hold any plan together. But they’re sure as heck not going to if *we* don’t know what to plan for.
