YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appears to command more votes in the "fiscal cliff" negotiations than the speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner of Ohio.

That's because the San Francisco Democrat leads a unified caucus whose votes will be needed to pass any deal to avert more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts come Jan. 1. Boehner's Republicans, by contrast, are rebellious and fractured, having abandoned their leader."*

Democrats are celebrating a win after fiscal cliff negotiations and being able to keep their caucus together while Republicans infight. But...maybe they don't have the leverage they believe they do. Cenk Uygur delivers a reality check.
