How Do Republican Voters Feel About their Party's Meaningless Vote on the Debt Ceiling?
I see plenty of gloating, but in reality the vote for the debt ceiling that the House rejected is not really binding. It was a symbolic measure designed to let people know that they are serious about reducing spending. In the end, they still have to raise the debt ceiling and they will.
Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday that the debt ceiling “needs to be” raised in the next month, the clearest time line the House leader has set for increasing the nation’s borrowing capability.
“I just think we’re now in June, this really needs to be done over the next month if we’re serious about no brinksmanship, no rattling investors,” the Ohio Republican told a group of reporters in his Capitol office suite.

Angel? No Half-Truths. You are clinging to some idea that there's gonna be some massive collaboration to make cuts before the debt ceiling vote hits the floor, you are delusional. The Republicans will have to fold on this....you heard it here first.
