Repubs believe they are in better position for the debt limit vote but are they?? [View all]

Because the people remember the damage they did the last time they tried it. Would they really try it again?

Also, the sequestration vote comes up about the same time as the debt limit. This means a lot of programs will be automatically cut, including defense, if nothing is done. This seems like a fairly good negotiating tool for the Democrats, in my opinion. Nobody wants to cut the bloated defense budget.

Is it possible that the Republicans are going to paint themselves into another corner, just like they did with the fiscal cliff?

Although many on both sides are not happy with the deal that was made last night, it appears that the Repubs are left with the worst taste in their mouths...
