Then they passed Obamacare 2009/2010.
This a perfect example of a fact you wont hear from talk radio.
100% FALSE - talk radio repeats that fact nearly every day, or at least every week. It usually pops up in a caller question about why can't the Republicans maintain party discipline on basic party platforms when Pelosi & Reid do so with the Dems? Sometimes the talk radio hosts (you seem to despise so greatly) ask it rhetorically. Sometimes, they pose it as a question to their audience.
Whatever the form, the answer is: the GOPe leadership and their sycophants believe in nothing that doesn't personally and immediately benefit them.
You may have missed the point.
Pelosi held off the lib base in 2007 with a GOP POTUS and protected her moderate members in swing districts until it counted, to get power in 2010 and pass an agenda.
She used to power to crush attempts at shutdowns and impeachments in 2007 and 2008. If Bohner was like she was he would be crushing conservatives to get power in 2017 to ram though conservative policies.
She told her lib base to stuff it until then so she could get results.
\ She was out for results, to win.
That is the exact opposite of what those who pushed the shutdown argue. They claim that Pelosi never used restraint.
