After wiping out democRATS tomorrow, we go to the GOPe and tell them, "guys you might be thinking that you are in charge but you're NOT." "We've had your number for some time and now you will end your leadership positions ....

And they'd laugh at you knowing you were all bluff. Hey -- you voted for them, remember?

A deal with the devil is always a losing proposition.

Ted Cruz is on our side, explicitly saying that's exactly what he's going to do. A year ago he almost single-handedly forced the GOP to shut down the government, backed off for political reasons when the collapse of HealthCare.gov emerged as a much more beneficial issue.

I'm willing to give the guy a chance. You?

Great then, stay home, vote for a write-in of your choice, go hunting, fishing or whatever else you plan to do. This will "teach the GOP that you're not for sale, that you'd rather they lose" and take all of the rest of us down with them for that's what is gonna happen.

Me, I'd rather have half a loaf than starve with nothing.

I don't like this either, just as Ronald Reagan didn't like it when he wound up losing to worse jerks than these (Geo. HW Bush, for one) not once but twice, then came roaring back in 1980 but he didn't pull up his panties and stomp out of the party because they stabbed him in the back. Reagan did what was necessary to patch things together for the sake of the whole to win half a loaf, then won the whole ball of wax not only in 1980 but 1984 the biggest landslide ever.

Whatever the case, I don't want to leave the Senate in the hands of another evil guy, Harry Reid, knowing that Obama is prepared to take the country farther into Third World status but you all do what works for you.
