If the GOP had a soul, Grover would win it easily. In fact, I think he already has. Nobody in the GOP is listening to Jeb Bush.

Well, Avalon is right to point out that Norquist is suffering defections, and that’s a needful thing. The current budget battles do need to end and only a compromise will end them. The GOP is not going to win the Complete Victory needed for Republicans to have it all their own way on the budget (neither will the Democrats, BTW). That means a compromise will eventually be struck. Grover Norquist will either accede to this fact or he will be politically destroyed by it.
