Its called playing hardball.
Something Reid and Pelosi and obammy have been doing all along?
Something mitch and john b. Never figured how to play.
His Wiki on his early years offers some insights as to how he somehow peter principled his humble self several light years beyond too big for his britches and into a almost unexplainable realm, which begs the eventual questions.
Giving him the benefit of doubt that he's not a fellow progressive traveler in GOP disguise, how does one cope with dangling on the end of the puppetmaster's strings and the compelling reason(s) that keeps one from cutting them?
Apparently a forever tan, a perpetual buzz and lots of golf seems to help, but isn't quite enough, which could explain the "cries like a baby whenever the wind blows" thing he's famous for.
If these last few years are viewed as a military campaign of conquest, but without uniformed armies facing off and lots of killing and breaking things, it all makes more sense.
Proper threats, unlimited bar tabs, greens fees, club memberships and tanning booth time are so much cheaper and far more efficient than the old ways. Sun Tzu would be most pleased!
[ Perhaps they’ve been compromised through blackmail, or through knowing they are vulnerable to it. ]
The Fact Boehner is stepping down probably means they have their next blackmailed stooge int he wings ready to go to replace him.
Hussein had him scheduled for a workout at Harry’s!
He doesn’t have Amnesia.
He’s gay....
Not that there’s anything wrong with that...
LOL
Give credit to the Democrats.
Even when they were out of power (2001-2006, 2011-2015) they kept pushing for things like gay marriage, free government healthcare, amnesty, huge cuts in the military.
Just because it looked impossible and they lost vote after vote after vote, they persisted. When they lost the vote, they brought it up again. Eventually they won out on every single issue, even though they have not had total control of the government since 2011..
Wouldn’t it be nice if just once we had Republican leadership that would fight and fight like the Democrats.
After the 2014 Democrat election disaster, I had a Democrat legislator come at me and say “you’re losing; we will get everything we want”.
I laughed, but it turns out he was absolutely right. Their gay voters are getting married with taxpayer funded healthcare and illegal alien employees while our military is forced to cut and run from the world stage.
Thanks Boehner and McConnell, and McCarthy and McCain. You can take your party to the Whig Graveyard.
Just so he’s stricken from the record.
I’m curious who has custody of the Boehner photos...
Obama or Ried?
It’s the Holmes theorem.
When you have eliminated every other possibility, that which remains is that solution.
boner has many things he’d like to forget...especially the fact that he is a traitor to this electorate and to his oath. If only the bum could get several years in exile to think about it.
I would like to see a Churchillian leader for the Republicans who would fight them in every street corner, every alley, every sewer and BY ANY AND EVERY MEANS NECESSARY. I am tired of GOPe gentlemen losers who are always making excuses.
We must first have the will to save our country.
True. And maybe Boehner did not want to set off anti government riots or confrontations. Maybe the ultimate political solution will come and it will work out for the best. However, at the time it was frustrating and bizarre.
The country was (and still is) being ruled against the will of the majority of the people.
