“who betrayed Speaker John Boehner”
betrayed? Man that kinda spin belongs in major league baseball.
“Betrayal” implies a loyalty owed.
Boehner is owed no such loyalty. The loyalty the members owe is to the country and to their constituents.
Boehner’s job is to help them, through the party caucus, to honor those loyalties. It is the gross failure of the Speaker and the party in this regard that has led to the revolution in the ranks.
