The Republicans lost two things last night:
1. They voted for a tax increase. Yes, you could argue that voted for new tax cuts, but no one on the right will see it that way, except for maybe Grover, who is trying to remain relevant.
2. They violated the Hastert rule. Boehner can no longer argue that a bill has to be put to the floor only if a “majority of the majority” wants it.

As for what happens in two months, think of this:
1. Of the sequestration cuts, only the defense cuts are really cuts; the domestic cuts are mostly moving numbers around.
2. Not raising the debt ceiling will hurt businesses directly, and wall street because our credit rating will fall.

Which of those really looks like they are going to hurt Democrats politically?
