So that means, what, over 200 didn’t sign? Doesn’t bode well.

Except that the signatories include McCarthy and Scalise -- two members of the House leadership. Which I find rather shocking.

Maybe the House Republicans can fabricate a backbone, after all...

I find that shocking as well.

They better fight or they are finished as a party.
The Whigs disappeared quickly because they refused to deal with the big issue of their day.

I talked to a staffer in Boehner’s office today. I got the impression that they’ll pass whatever the Senate passes using whatever votes they can get.

If they do....GOP-RIP

I think you are mistaken - McCarthy and Scalise weren’t signatories. They were recipients of the letter along with Boehner. The linked article has the names of the signatories. The sentence about McCarty and Scalise was worded awkwardly.

All the best my FRiend,
