I participated in an MSNBC panel discussion with Cenk Uygur, Sam Seder, and conservative Matt Lewis. We discussed Cain, Mitch McConnell’s insistence on Medicare cuts as part of a budget deal, and Eric Cantor’s insistence on no disaster relief funds for Missouri unless they’re taken out of the budget somewhere else.

My overall point was then all of the GOP’s policies make sense if you assume that their overriding goal is to protect tax cuts for the wealthy at all costs. Video of the discussion is here.
