Republican strategists truly believe they have Obama/Dems on the ropes with Obamacare


On the ropes how?

So you agree to a 13 month hike of the debt ceiling bc you hope you are going to take the Senate in the Fall, yet even if you do, you still don't have the 2/3 needed to override a Presidential veto....

There is stuff they can pass in the Senate that will make Obama look damn bad if he uses that veto, L. And put the Senate Dems on the spot if they don't vote for it. Keystone Pipeline comes to mind.

Congressional investigations...Committee Chairmanships...there is a ton of hurt that can be dumped in Obama's lap if the Senate goes R.

Of course, it is depressin, and you are right to be cynical, I.e., rational and realistic. I don't think Jesus Christ can fix what ails this populous; not with their current mindset. Our Politics is merely a reflection of the collective delusion.
