Unless they have MDs standing by with Thorazine and straight-jackets, at least one GOPer will say what he really thinks and go down in flames; they can NOT win when their true plans and agendas are exposed.

To figure out why Republicans are winning the sequester wars, look at two numbers. Federal employees have so far taken no furlough days.

In other words, they're not only going to try to prevent legislation from passing, they also intend to block any bill related to gun violence from even being debated on the Senate floor. 
I'm not sure what they're so afraid of."
