Boehner is feeling the heat from his rank and file, because THEY are feeling the heat from the voters.

So he'll likely back off his heavy-handed, oligarchic, dictatorial tactics.

But I'm not naïve, Boehner will get back at these people in other ways.

“We need to get to the bottom of the guys who voted against [procedural motions], and we need to understand why they voted against that, and then we need to know why people voted against the speaker yesterday,” said Rep. Devin Nunes, the California Republican whom Boehner installed as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. “Name calling — saying ‘RINO’ and ‘establishment’ – that’s name calling,” Nunes said. “We need to understand why they voted the way they did.”

Nunes wants the panel that chooses committee assignments to reconvene and take action against the dissenters, and he’s planning to draft a Republican resolution that would forbid people who vote against the speaker from leading subcommittees.

This Stalinist apparatchik deserves a serious primary challenge in 2016.
