I also learned that the Floor of the House is the wrong place to have this battle. The hard truth is that we had an election for Speaker in November – just among Republicans. THAT was the time to fight. But not a single person ran against Boehner. Not one. If they had, we could’ve had a secret ballot to find out what the true level of opposition to John Boehner was.

So why didn't YOU run Mulvaney and force that secret vote?

Also, I seem to remember that the talking point at the time was "no worries, this wasn't the real vote. That will happen at the beginning of the new Congress in January."

Burns me up that these hacks talk about what great "leaders" they are during their campaigns, but then become sniveling sheep once they are elected and arrive in DC.

Very good point. And now we see Mulvaney is headed for the new conservative splinter group:

Hopefully, the new splinter group will grill him on his ‘statement’ before they decide to allow him to meet with them. I think he’s going there because he angered his constituents back home. Hopefully, his home district will vote this liar out of office in 2016.
