Everyone is reporting it now.
I’m gonna say this and I’ll probably get a lot of flak from some people here. But, I believe, if true, this would not happen if it hadn’t been for Trump’s arrival on scene. He is NOT my first candidate - Cruz is, but he has certainly focused the anger and the ire at establishment Republicanism and their leadership, in particular.
He’s given hope to those very few in the House who actually believe they ought to do what they promised their voters they would do by showing them he could be a target for all comers and still survive. Think about it. Standing up to Democrats, establishment GOP AND media and not only surviving, but THRIVING! He has shown them that principled dissent is not a PC dirty word. And for that, I’m thankful even if I’m not going to vote for him in the primary.
As for Boehner, he can go home and crawl back in that bottle.
