keeping progressives informed and in the loop and that being pragmatic is what you need. he s missing from this equation so we ll see how the left fares on this. but some of them actually believe what the president was saying and the white house was saying that we re not going to negotiate on this. the reality is that was never going to work. they have negotiated debt ceilings in the past. the president obviously knew that. i mean he was definitely trying to negotiate as he was saying we re not going to negotiate. right. he thought that republicans would fracture. that s what they thought all along, that republicans would not stay together. they did stay together up until now. we ll see if they do over the next week or so. look, i find it hard to believe that the left would not be there for them. he s their president and facing a re-election. it s really hard for me to imagine that only more than a handful would support it. exactly. and to the point of miscalculating on what
among independents, 37% say republicans. 29% say biden. 24% say everybody else. both of them. so, in other words, i think the white house looks at that and think in their gut that is the truth of the matter as to why they re not coming to the negotiating table. that is a miscalculation. because the question is if the economy is in poor shape, who do you blame, the republicans or the president? and typically people give the president credit and blame for the state of the economy. i think their miscalculating also about mccarthy because they did not expect him to be able to unify the republican conference in the house around a budget proposal as relatively quickly as he did. that is strengthened his position and they re still acing as though it is about a month and a half ago. so some numbers this morning,
