Boehner didn’t offer conservatives ANYTHING!
The Vitter amendment is PR nonsense- and it would create an appearance of “shared sacrifice” for the ‘elite’ if it went into effect anyway.
Only hope I can see is that Boehner is setting Mitch up to be a hero to help his reelection chances.
But who can imagine Mitch being William Wallace? ... which is what he’d have to do.
Mitch isn’t William Wallace. That role is being played by Cruz.
McConnell is Robert the Bruce.
