NEWS FLASH:
The Republicans will get the blame no matter what they do, or what happens.
If things go bad, it's the Republicans fault. If things go right, it will be reported that the administration prevailed over Republican stonewalling. The white house press office will spin a story and the mainstream media will tout it to the stars as the "truth".
The low-information voter will deep-throat the liberal-biased media's version of events.
That's the play book. The low-information morons buy into the rubbish every time!
