“This is when the so-called radicals were out there demanding a shutdown, or default in the federal debt, and so if Republicans are seen and portrayed to have not delivered on what they said they would have..."

Impossible. Cantor is a democrat collaborator. Pay the interest we cannot default. The president cannot even avoid servicing the debt - the requirement to do so is in the Constitution. . . .

14th Amendment - Section 4
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.

So servicing the debt cannot be questioned - it is paramount

Not that such would stop Barky from defaulting . . .

The government still takes in revenue even when the debt ceiling is reached. So the question is of priorities. This all or nothing game plays right into the leftist agenda.. Get a brain.
