Not buying his argument.

I see nothing that ‘Experienced Leader’ has learned that demands he stay as Speaker.

In fact, he is compromised.

What he did years ago before he was Speaker is irrelevant. It has no bearing on what he’s doing now.

NOT BUYING IT!

Agree. Boehner is the worst negotiator in history. He used to stake out a tough position, trumpet it loudly, and then fold the instant the Dems/Obama talked tough. Now he skips the first two steps and just folds. If this is ‘experience’ we need less of it.

I'm with you - bunch of apologist crapola in the article. "Experience" is not key if one has a working mind and can take counsel from other Conservatives.
