Boehner is in denial. Boenher’s chances of passing amnesty in any kind went from slim to none. Fat chance Johnny that you’ll get anymore votes by hook and crook than the handful of RINOs that you have now, and that’s about 10 Rs.
And the other Boehner calculus. Boenher knows dang well there is no chance, but he and other RINOs are addicted to Chamber of Crony Capitalism's big donations so he's got to keep playing the game to keep those big fishes on the hook.
And all of the Democrats. He can ram it through.
