McConnell is prancing around like it’s the good old, fat old days and Boehner is still lying through his spray tanned lips.

And the so-called conservatives seem too afraid to do much of anything.

A few tried to mount efforts to replace Boehner in 2012 and 2014 and both attempts failed. Some congressman before Labor Day was supposed to be mounting an effort. What happened to that? Pubbies folded again.

McConnell should be strutting. Chances are his majority leadership ends with the next Congress. The Pubbies will likely lose the Senate.

The ole 'vote Republican' hasn't worked so far.

Any dissident is going up against a huge pile of money and ingrained establishment that took years to build.

Sadly, the only way to do this would be for the voters in their home districts to decapitate the leadership by voting them out. Like 1994 in reverse.

Someone has every crumb of dirt on every one there, and is not afraid to use it. Call it blackmail, extortion, whatever, between the NSA, DOJ, and DHS, and All those little FBI files from back in the Clinton days, I doubt more than a handful up there aren't either completely compromised or are just running with the pack getting their slice of the pie.

Very few aren't owned, lock, stock and barrel, and I doubt many couldn't be disgraced or hauled off in irons within 24 hours the second someone dumps the stuff to the (also compromised or willing) media with the orders to pump it 24/7.
