Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review debate the lessons for conservatives as an apparent deal is struck to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling. Geraghty sees the past weeks as a major loss for the right as supporters of defunding Obamacare pushed the envelope without enough votes to win the day and had no concrete back-up plan. Corombos says conservatives should have pursued different tactics but salutes those willing to take a principled stand even without the votes, as opposed to the establishment GOP who just wanted to rubber stamp both issues and move on.
