Deserve’s got nothing to do with it. He won and to the victor goes the spoils. If he flagships and issue they could do another coupe there, but smart Speakers don’t flagship for exactly that reason. This is power politics, it’s a game, with well defined rules, and like him or not Boehner is very good at playing it. And he just won a significant victory. There’s a strong symbolic message in pulling people out of the rules committee.

I thought that was the reason for this last election to stop the establishment in dc? To stop this stupid game playing and give the power back to we the people? It is these games that must be stopped. This is why working to take over the party will not work. It looks like 3rd party or nothing.
With well defined rules until someone boldly colors outside of the boundaries.
He’s a squish.
