Guessing he’ll fold and let the media spank him hard and often. It’s the GOP way.
Disappointed before, of course, but Boehner and the House GOP leadership did not pick a lot of fights with Obama in order to protect the ultimate GOP nominee for president.
That is no longer an imperative; in fact, the critical need is for the House to draw a line in the sand.
Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy know what is at stake.
There was a wonderful article a couple of weeks ago — possibly by Steve Hayes — urging the GOP to just go with sequestration if Obama was re-elected.
Ace has a way with words. It’s gonna be fun. Of course the GOP will fold, they sort of have to. If they don’t (despite the obvious fact that it takes two to make a deal) the spin will be “GOP is killing Grandma — look, she died, because of Republican Greed and Corruption”.
So, a deal will be had. But Boehner has a good hand to bargain with.
