Reading everything I could find that Reid and obama said, one has to come to the conclusions, their idea of a compromise is “gives us everything we want and shut up about it”.
And of course they will cave, except for a few people in the house and senate they are all cowards.

Republicans never learned not to negotiate with themselves?
When someone gives you a counter offer of less than you asked for, you can consider reducing what you asked for, if you want to compromise (if you are not in "take it or leave it mode"). If someone rejects your offer completely, you don't compromise with yourself. You send back the exact same thing. That sends a message that the other side better give somewhere or you are not budging.
The House leadership suffers from the same thing that Obama does--they have never been in the real world.

House GOP whip Kevin McCarthy said the House will send a third government-funding bill with a few other options if the Democratic-controlled Senate rejects the bill passed in the House last night, as expected. So McCarthy is telling the senate to defeat the bill the house just sent over to them because we will be sending them another one more to their liking next time?
Whose side is he on?

Stupid or complicit? I think we got the answer last week.
The House needs to SAY NO TO THE COLLABORATORS!

Except that the republicans don't really want to get rid of obamacare.
Obamacare is a great fundraiser for them, so why not make idiots out of the voters?
To: don-o
What sniveling fakers.
They are so bad at bluffing, it’s pretty clear they don’t want the other side to accept any of their faux demands.
And now we’re on to simply patching up Obamacare?
Yikes!
To: svcw
PRAY for them instead of just putting them down.....they are trying against GREAT ODDS....they need our encouragement. Call their local and DC offices to let them know you approve.

They had plan a-plan b-plan c- etc. ready from the get go.
They never intended to take a stand.
Otherwise they would.
To: don-o
We will pass a bill . . . that will keep the government open, that will reflect the House, that I believe the Senate can accept, that will have fundamental changes to Obamacare that can protect the economy for America,
The only fundamental change I want to see to Obamacare is one that kills it at least for now.

***********
The House “leadership” is fumbling the ball in the red zone once again and letting the other team run it in for a touchdown.
