1. My guess today is that Boehner will capitulate.

That would not be a win for Democrats but it will very definitely be a loss for the GOP.

5. Not looking good.

6. Total capitulation, followed by total revolt by the Cruzites

Cruz is the general leading 20 to 25 Tea Party Reps in the House. They will be on the warpath.


Sources said the House Republicans meeting in the basement of Tortilla Coast with Cruz were some of the most conservative in the House: Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Steve King of Iowa, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Raúl R. Labrador of Idaho, Steve Southerland II of Florida, Mark Meadows of North Carolina and Justin Amash of Michigan.

The group is a collection of members who have often given leadership headaches in recent years by opposing both compromise measures as well as packages crafted by fellow Republicans.

9. That is the best case scenario IMO

It funds the govt, stops the damage being done, and would further let the Tea Party destroy themselves.

[Southside]

12. The Tea Party should be a third party

Even the Republicans are tired of them...it seems

7. I just can't imagine something doesn't get done

But we'll see.

8. I'm almost certain there will be an agreement.

The House's bogus bill doesn't have the votes to pass. The Senate bill does. Boner wouldn't dare not put it to a vote. It's all but over.

11. I'll take your optimism. I'm not so sanguine.

10. I placed no clue

Chances are, we will not reach an agreement particularly with the chatter.

Ted Cruz keeps saying he is waiting for the details of the agreement before deciding if he would block or not, and the same thing with the Republicans in Congress.

So, chances are, it would be a resounding no, and they are really forcing the invoking of the 14th amendment.

14. Since we are dealing with reality challenged crazies, who really know, including them?
