This is a ruse, a carrot for conservatives.
I think you’re right.
In fact, it may even by worse.
Right about now, some GOPe types are looking at the poll numbers Trump is getting, eyeballing the power and money at stake, and are starting to consider some hardball, down and dirty options. They have already monkeyed with the nominating rules to favor themselves, and they are continuing to do so even now.
Boehner may not have the stomach for, or even object to, what he’s been asked to do or support in the coming fight. He figures he’s toast as Speaker anyway, so why not get out now before the election?
That scenario ought to keep everybody awake at night...deeds so low that even John Boehner can’t be a party to them....
You’re reading the tea leaves correctly.
The DC Cronies and Silicon Valley Billionaires pushed Bonehead out . They think McCarthy is a nasty devious creep who can ram thru Amnesty,TPP , global warming taxes ,
Millions of H1 visas before Trump and 2016 reelections stop them .,
Its now or never for K street , C of C , to destroy the US !
