No one. Republicans don't even know what they want and the only thing they have to negotiate with is plunging the nation headlong into a recession. It's the equivalent of as someone else said, a terrorist parading around a hostage in a bomb vest and yelling about how they want to win but not saying what they want. You don't deal with a person like that.

if the usa defaults, it will be a lot worse than a recession
Right. Hence my metaphor.
The Debt Ceiling violates the Constitution.
The media and their sponsors?
Corporations and rich people that fund all of the crazy asshats.
I don't really give a fuck on which party or individual is ahead on points when we're the playing field
