One. step. at. a. Time.
First, you must get your party elected. Then you make the deals. This is not a complex set of logic and facts.
Huck and Schmuck have made themselves unelectable.
nobody else did it for them.
Boehner has already made a joke of your 'facts'.
The fact is the GOP has thus far lacked courage for any real reforms when they had the opportunity to do so.
So it comes as no surprise that they would not close ranks around one of their own as the democrats do.
IMO the GOP apparatus refusal to do so stems more from their dislike of the conservative wing of their party - many would rather make common cause with the democrats & media.
