Don't be surprised if the House amended CR goes nowhere and I don't mean the Senate. I mean I see this CR not getting out of the House itself. The reason I say this is the fact that Reid has said that what the House is proposing to send back to the Senate is DOA because of the delay Obamacare for one year provision that was added to it. Now this is a critical element because delay is not repeal and therefore those radicals of the Right who want repeal & nothing else are going to be less inclined to vote for it knowing that it's going nowhere because even with a one year delay it will still technically be a vote on their part to sustain Obamacare.
I personally don't see these radicals swallowing that for any rhyme or reason so don't be surprised if Boehner pulls this thing at the last minute so as to reinsert the repeal provision or it gets voted down outright because enough Republican radicals to join with Democrats in opposing it. Again, I could be wrong and the House CR as it is now written may indeed pass on a straight party line vote but if that happens you can be damn sure that this crazy Cruz crowd will crucify those Republicans who vote for it for having merely voted to delay, rather than repeal Obamacare. However, no matter what happens a shutdown is inevitable and the Republicans are going to take the full blame for it and rightfully so.
