Chuck, I am not arguing with you. It is just the stories you cite and all others I have found simply speculate that Trey may get the nod. Katie Pavlick, whom I deeply admire and follow, speaks in terms of maybe. Boehner has not said.
I also know Boehner. I have been watching him up close. His huge green signs are all over the place in the bucolic district. He wades into Middletown (home of basketball great Jerry Lucas) Rotary Club and points out a cameraman and says that guy back there has a camera....but...here’s how my caucus treats dealing with immigration, then he goes all whiny about it is “so hard”, or “it burns” like the Holy Water on the kid in the Exorcist. ha ha
Boehner dangles Trey out there to win his primary Tuesday. I am sure he will catch all kinds of hell from the GOPe to NOT appoint Trey and that will be the end of it.
Okay, how about this: If Trey is not chairman, I’ll donate $20 to the FReepathon. If he is chairman, you donate $20 to the FReepathon.
