Nothing to parse. No there there. Nothing bad. Unlike Boner stabbing us in the back.

Something tells me this won’t be picked up. These kind of inside baseball conversations happen all the time.

I’d be more worried about these Boehner emails.

Great to see Rand thinks we will win though. He’s not a wild-eyed optimist either.

Mitch should have repeated - - louder, “I’m all wired up here”.

And then Paul said “lord satan I worshop you.” Let’s just put a wooden stake in his heart.

Almost seems like a contrived hot mic moment. Rand’s a crafty little bugger. I am glad he is on our side.

I think that Politico writer has had those since April.

"I don't think they [the RATS?] poll tested we won't negotiate. I think it's awful for them [the RATS] to say that over and over again," Paul said.

So Paul is saying the RATS are losing points every time they say "we won't negotiate"

I am ticked off. My son, who is a recent high school graduate has been trying to find a steady job for months, was hired for a job. Then he was told that he can’t start work yet because they have to run his name through Everify before he can start this new job. Obama shut down the Everify website. He put up a cyber Barrycade, I guess. What a great way to help the economy.

Yes, but disappointing to think that he trusts McChinless with his strategic thoughts.

Reps will never win the media war. The only thing to do is be consistent.

Reps should hit the new media hard. not sure social media is worth the time, full of liberals

I’m shock McConnell would deign to talk to Paul. I thought he hated him with a passion.

Who is “they” in “I don’t think they poll tested we won’t negotiate”. By context, it would appear to be the media. The only explanation I can up with is that the “republicans won’t negotiate” message isn’t gaining traction, and as a result, the Republicans are seeing some good polling numbers. Also, later lines indicate that the polling is showing that the “we wanted to defund, but will settle for a delay” approach is resonating.

But the fly in the ointment is the “it’s awful for them to say that”, unless he just means it’s a tactical mistake for them to keep harping on the “won’t negotiate” message. Otherwise, it doesn’t mesh well with the above.

Any other explanations?

I'm waiting for a fully contrived moment:

"Have you got a sec?"
"Well, I'm all wired up here ..."
"Don't worry. They never turn those mics on until just before you go out there. Listen, did you see those photos?"
"The ones with Obama? And that boy?"
"I couldn't believe it."
"Do you ... do you think he lived?"
"I dunno. I mean, a lot of people have strange tastes and all ... but ... that's twisted."
I just got back from the White House. He sounded scared."
"He thinks we're going to say something?"
"No. Not that. He knows we won't talk about that. But I think ... I think he gets these urges. I think he's afraid that he'd going to do it again. I mean, he's got another trip coming up. That's when he ... you know ... he has these kids brought to him ..."
"It's awful."
"It sure is. Well, I think I have to go out there now and talk about budget stuff."
"Good luck."

Paul added, "I think if we keep saying 'We wanted to defund it. We fought for that and that we're willing to compromise on this', I think they can't, we're gonna, I think... well I know we don't want to be here, but we're gonna win this I think."

So Paul is saying: "I think if we keep saying 'We wanted to defund it ... [but] ... we're willing to compromise on this' ... we're gonna win this "

OK, I get it. We are the party of compromise, you won't compromise, we will win the argument.

If Jesse Jackson can talk about ‘cutting Obamas nuts out’ this is a non-event.

See my posts 9 and 17. The RATS are the ones saying ‘We eon’t negotiate’ the Mc says that’s what they are saying in private as well.
