The key vote of resistance showed only 19 Republican U.S. Senators voting the right way, the others were with Harry Reid and Barack Obama on Friday.
Boehner has lost the mantle of leadership to Ted Cruz and now has to put on this show to pretend he is a leader.
In the end we know Boehner caves as usual.
“Boehner has lost the mantle of leadership to Ted Cruz and now has to put on this show to pretend he is a leader.”
Ted Cruz failed last week. That’s just a fact. I’m no fan of Boehner, but the house had voted to defund obamacare long before that vanity “symbolic” filibuster that didn’t accomplish anything.
Now we have a bipartisan bill that funds the government and the burden is on Reid to keep the government running.
Boner's resolve has stiffened? (With apologies to Carlos Danger)
