5. And I'm sure he'd vote yes on a clean debt ceiling bill |
|
but he's seen just as well as we have what negotiating with the tea bag terrorists gets you, more threats and more demands...

6. Would A Filibuster Necessarily Mean A Default?...... |
|
Wouldn't it throw the deal back on the negotiating table?
Somebody needs to put their money where their mouth is. If you don't want to touch the Big 3 and you don't want this deal on the backs of the poor, sick, students, disabled, etc - then someone is going to have to put their job on the line.
I like Bernie. I like what he says. He always seems to say the right things about issues. Here is a chance for him to come through for the American People. Will he do it?

8. Who is to say they would not get 60 votes to override? |
|
I am sure any deal will include all the repubs (save maybe Paul and Rubio) and a bunch of "moderate" democrats.
