If Dems wanted to play hardball, they could LOL, this is what Steve Benen calls "hardball"? Senate Democrats could, for example, push for a spending measure that scraps the House GOP's Obamacare plan and simultaneously fixes the sequestration policy that's hurting the country. The GOP would LOVE to drop sequestration if it meant the end of ObamaCare. Sequestration makes for a poor bargaining chip. Steve Benen is completely fooling himself if he believes otherwise. All of this gets very silly because Obamacare is not going away. The GOP knows this but insists on spending 90% of their time pretending that they are trying to stop it. Benen may appear soft to you because his approach is so different from the tactics employed by a radicalized GOP. He is trying to be constructive while the GOP and its pols are bent on destruction. You should be more angry over this BS than even I because these pols represent your interests.
