Incorrect. They are very in-touch. They just don’t care, and they have been completely bought. The Muslim Brotherhood that Obama has been trying to place into power throughout the Middle East is apparantly backed by the Saudis, who clearly have co-opted Boehner as well.
It is almost better for Boehner to have been bought and be venal than not to have been bought and be inconceivably stupid.
Whatever the origins of this betrayal, every effort must now be bent to destroy Boehner. He must be primaried, assuming that will not work, we must vote for the Democrat in his district. Boehner must be driven from office at all costs.
This combined with his inevitable sell out on immigration is intolerable and that means it will simply not be tolerated and Boehner's continued existence either as speaker or as representative cannot be countenanced.
