8. Obama's past behavior

I don't expect he will do anything different this time either. He will play their game of chicken so far, then he will make the best deal possible. What he has always done. I just hope this time he is out front in messaging. He needs us, backing him up.

GOP has to convince US they will really kill the hostage, to get Medicare and Social Security cuts, otherwise the bluff doesn't work. Once the idea of what they are doing, and why they are doing it sinks in... They blinked once...what do you think, from past behavior, they will do?

They dropped CPI like a fucking hot potato, because it was a PR Nightmare...they blinked once already.
