Finally, frm House GOP retreat, Rs 'resigned' to reality they won't get much in way of concessions from #DebtCeiling, but will fight 1st.
@danholler Yes, but not as simple as a poker game where everyone has the same chips & the same $$ on the line & same access to more cash

@DavidMDrucker no doubt it's more complicated, but you never start a hand by showing all your cards. typically doesn't work to well. -
@danholler My point is their cards are already exposed. Imagine if Obamacare threatened no debt ceiling unless he got the ACA public option. -
@DavidMDrucker i'd suggest they've shown some of their cards, not all. though you could be right that they flipped over the rest already. -
@danholler The only "cards" they have is that their votes are required. Problem is, voters will blame them if they w/hold votes. No leverg. -
@DavidMDrucker they THINK they will be blamed. their polling in summer of 2011 was solid. of course, they had a months-long message campgn
