I got a bad feeling. What if it is a good deal

[kydo]

and Cruz torpedoes it or if by the grace of God he is muzzled and it gets passed the Senate in time but the House doesn't get it passed? I mean come on, they could not pass a farm bill. I know the Democrats will vote for it but the crazy virus effects almost all the republicans.

But seriously, what happens when Ted Cruz is able to end the deal?

[melody]

1. Because Ted Cruz is a nobody and Boehner is speaker of the house

As the story puts it:

" The White House said both leaders, and their counterparts from the House, would sit down with President Obama and Vice President Biden at 3 p.m. "

If they all sign-off on it, it'll only be because Boehner knows he can bring it to the House. If he brings it, the majority will vote for it (the majority will vote for a clean bill now).

2. But thanks to last week's late night coup, Cantor is in charge of the House, not Boehner.

At least, that's my understanding ....

4. I surrender n/t

5. Yes

and he stands to make several million if the default takes place due to his leveraging of the dollar. Anybody else would be arrested for treason.

8. plus 1

...not enough has been said about this

[Aerows]

9. If it were a Democrat doing it

You would have Republicans on TV 24/7 harping about it. Cantor is so slimy he makes snails look dry.

3. There's no such thing as a good "deal" in this case.

There should be nothing to "deal". If anything is conceded to the Republican side it will be ransom and blackmail.

6. Plan B

The Fed slowly forgives Treasury's debt.

7. Don't worry. It won't be a good deal.
