Nobody can declare Republicans or the Tea Party “in rebellion.” That’s ludicrous.
If you *just* look at the count, there are far more *elected officials* who WANT to defund Obamacare in the federal government. A small majority in the senate and the president don’t. They are the minority when all elected officials are considered.
Exactly right. The Senate Democrats, their RINO allies, and the President are the minority that's holding up the CR.
