It seems like things are moving even faster than one might have anticipated. The House Democrats have scheduled a caucus meeting for this afternoon. That’s where they’re either going to snap out of it, get their act together and move forward or decide that they’re just going to give up and collapse into a bowl of jello.
One point to note: so far the big freak-out/fainting couch statements from the House have come from the left, not the center-right of the Dem caucus. That may prove to be a very important pattern.
But again, this is a classic case of mob panic in the House. It’s all down to the president. He’s the one who can steady these wobblies.
