The Democrats' debt ceiling collapse is inescapable

Thus far, Democrats have insisted that they won’t negotiate when it comes to raising the debt limit. That isn’t a realistic position. That position is about to collapse, in my estimation. Apparently, others are reaching that conclusion.

Democrats in the media are beginning to grudgingly admit that Democrats have to negotiate, that history dictates negotiation. While that’s true, that doesn’t mean that the media is liking siding with Republicans. That isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.

According to the Hill’s reporting, “Strategists and policy experts in both parties believe Democrats will have to come to the bargaining table soon to negotiate a debt ceiling deal that would avoid an economic catastrophe.” Notice the charged language of avoiding “an economic catastrophe.”
