First off I get that our debt is out of control and a disaster in the making. Okay
Second I also understand that if we (gop) want to stem the bleeding we have to win the Senate and retain the House.
Third I also understand that to REVERSE this train wreck we either need the presidency or a 2/3rds majority in congress.
So, please explain to me how pushing this to the brink, and likely ending up with another shutdown that would be masterfully blamed on the gop by the msm would help us attain my 2nd or 3rd point?
If we were to lose control of the house in the midterms because of public perception on any shutdown would make this poor debt deal pale in comparison to what the dems would do if they were to take complete control again. It would be like amputating a finger because of an ingrown fingernail.
Everyone always says elections have consequences. Well here is the proof. If you want further proof push this to the brink and watch our party implode. We would beg for 9% approval ratings is this bill failed and we took the subsequent blame.
And don't give me that party over country nonsense because we cant effect change if we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. If we had control purity of convistions would & could be acted upon and then the public could vote their will based on our progress. We don't have control however so we need to stop acting like we do.
Put a temporary bandaid on this shit till we get control THEN get the scalpel out.
