Good post. Just to expound slightly, the House has already compromised giving the Dems everything they want except Obamacare. If they stick to that, Reid is in the hot seat. If the Senate folds, which I think it will, Obama will veto and the House rolls out the same argument - we have compromised and there ain’t no more to give. You can’t have 100% so you have to give up something.
If the repubicans weren’t so spineless they could do it. They need to grow a backbone, like yesterday!
I don’t think the Senate will fold. I think Cantor and Boehner have it all choreographed. They were allowed to defund it in the House as a show, knowing it would all be undone in reconciliation. Somebody leaked Cantor’s comments about that - that they would have a show vote that would still let Obamacare be funded because of reconciliation. Somebody help me out with that. I know there were threads about it. How did Cantor’s comments become public?
