If things were reversed and it was the Rs who needed to raise the debt ceiling, they'd already be accepting trillion dollar coins in the vending machines at the Capitol by now.
@mattblaze thats why they are willing to go nuclear this round, they know they can skip negotiations on their turn and just give D's the finger.
@mattblaze wish I understood why Dem leadership doesn't seem to get this. The last 30 years are just a series of Dems bringing feathers to fight a war, and the GOP always going nuclear every chance they get.
@mattblaze I'm beginning to think it has to be on purpose, there really is no other explanation at this point.
@ThomM I was calling it bringing a knife to a gunfight, but I agree completely. The Democratic propensity to take the high road could be the end of American democracy.
@mattblaze Well, yeah have you seen the cost of chapstick lately?

@mattblaze … with Ted Cruz’s face on the trillion $ coin.

[cringe!]

@mattblaze If things were reversed the debt ceiling would've already been raised.
