Backlash to McConnell’s contingency plan continues ("We will not pretend a bad deal is a good one")

The plan is to basically to give Obama everything he wants

Actually, not.

Obama's plan was to stick Repubs for 1/2 the responsibility for raising the ceiling and also to get them on the hook for some tax hikes.

This way every single Repub can say they did NOT vote for the ceiling (under the other plan with cuts they would have) and the Dems got NO tax hikes.

The more I think about this the more I'm thinking McConnell may be onto something.

They need to do something that is foreign for Republican politicans to do: Stand their ground!

You and Mitch may be on the same thing, happy pills?

[Siena Dreaming]

Got any real comment to make?

[itsahoot]

Yep, but I see it went right over your head, so I won’t repeat it.

[Siena Dreaming]

On the contrary, it was so simplistic I found it hard to take even remotely seriously.

[skinkinthegrass]

The bottom line is that the GOP again FAILS at message coordination and discipline. McConnell deliberately and systematically undermined Boehner, Cantor and House Republicans — let alone our voices in conservative media.

...perhaps, Mitch tried (a Lone Wolf?) other approach,
....
expecting (hoping) for some back-up from Republicans
needless to say...the House Leadership, told him to pound (quick)sand.
"Go To He!!"

Yes it was simplistic, exactly as your premise.
