I never understood what Cruz was up to . It was always certain to me that Bohner would in the end send a CR to Senate w Obama-care funding if not doing so would result in a shutdown that he would get blamed for.
So this little Bohner trick I think is : House GOP passes a defund CR to Senate and Bohners says “OK Ted, here is your defund bill. We did what you said. Now pass it in the Senate”
Of course Reid probably never takes it up, and Reid gets way more than the 51 he needs to pass the CR with Obama-care. Then at the last minute Bohner puts up same bill in house and passes it with Dems, no shutdown.
There is a word going around that Bohner will retire after this term, and if so after the next election we will see who steps up to run for Speaker,

I think the weeper has a significant chance of being retired if he runs again. In the mean time, he has nothing to lose by stabbing us in the back.
He is the epitome of what the gop wing of the uniparty has come to represent: betrayal on top of cowardice on top of socialism. Frankly, I don’t much care who his successor will be. We can rest assured he or she will be another anti-conservative. I think eric the weasel is next up.
