In the Senate, probably not.
In the House, it remains to be seen. A crappy rating from them can be a death sentence for a member with a credible challenger, and its not like many of them are in districts where Democrats pose a threat.
Obviously it will be a myriad of factors. Democrat overreach (some of it intended I believe) and Boehner’s lack of clout.
Fair enough. But even the Heritage ratings won’t matter that much if Boehner simply calls a vote and gets all the Democrats and a small handful of Republicans do go along with it. So then the Heritage ratings really wouldn’t matter foe the other GOP members - they would only need 17 House GOP members who have completely quit on everything and at this point, it is basically a given that they are there.
BTW, at this point, what should be the goals of the conservative GOP members who are still looking to try and negotiate with the Senate and HW? What should they be looking for exactly at this point and if the Senate and WH do not give them anything, do they have any options, other than simply keeping gov’t shut for months and months? If that is the only option, is that what they need to do?
