And so here is the Republican’s Kobayashi Maru situation: If GOPers do not vote for the bill, Lord Damp Nut will sic his mouth-breathers on them. If they do vote for it, the deficit hawks in the party will go after them as being insufficiently conservative. They are going to get primaried no matter which side they land on. No matter what the House does, amply be-chinned, Mitch McConnell is not going to bring it up for a vote. Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous. - - - Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar" 1897

Now wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts. I wonder what would happen if she actually tried that in a majority-Republican Senate. -- Drew
