Now Wouldn't It Be Embarrassing To The Boner... UPDATED

... if he had to depend on Democrats rounded up by Nancy Pelosi to pass the budget bill? She says she'll do it rather than allow the government to shut down. The question is whether the Big Orange Boner has the votes in his own caucus to pass the bill. Ever since the CBO released numbers showing that the bill will reduce direct payments by only one percent of the advertised $38 billion, there have been threats of defection in the GOP House caucus.

Of course Nancy Pelosi, for all her flaws, knows that Dems riding to the rescue of this GOP bill would allow her to demand a few things for her side. The only question for the rest of us is a simple one: Is her side... our side?

UPDATE: it took 39 Democrats to pass the Republan bill in the allegedly Republan-majority House. Big Orange Boner owes Pelosi big-time now. But if he pays off what he owes, his own caucus will shit in their pants. I love watching Republans squirm!
