Today’s political highlight reel
by digby
Whenever you’re tempted to completely write off all politicians, it pays to remember that while none of the are perfect (who is?) there are some who really do try to fight the good fight. I wish that room had been full of Democratic Senators and it’s worrisome that it wasn’t. But these people are respected members of the Party, not a group of fringe wierdos like James Inhofe or Ted Cruz. It matters that they are speaking out and drawing this line. There will be no Grand Bargain if it doesn’t come out of the Senate first (because Boehner can’t bring one to the floor without a big bipartisan Senate agreement)so this matters.
