Never Give Up, Never Surrender...OK We Surrender!

Given Thursday's abysmal NBC/WSJ poll for the Republicans, it now looks like surrender is in the cards for the Crazy Caucus.

President Barack Obama and House Republicans clashed in a meeting Thursday afternoon over how soon the government can be reopened, even as the GOP offered to lift the debt limit for six weeks, according to sources familiar with the session. 
House Republicans told Obama at the White House that they could reopen the federal government by early next week if the president and Senate Democrats agree to their debt-ceiling proposal. A GOP aide said they would seek some additional concessions if they advance a government funding bill next week.

As I said last night, now we dictate the terms of the GOP surrender, what it will include, what face-saving measures will be used, etc, but Obama's just won this fight.

Having said that, I dealt some cold reality on Twitter last night:




Something to keep in mind.
