As I said on another thread the membership is livid with Boehner, McCarthy and Skalise for hoodwinking them over the budget legislation las fall. The leadership begged them to vote for a bill that Boehner promised they would then table and bring up a different bill.
The members agreed, voted and then Boehner
Didn:t table it but rather brought it up for passage. With Rat votes that both Boehner and the whitehouse lobbied for it passed.
Boehner. McCarthy and Skslise are all rats claiming to be “extremely Conservative”.
Yes and also there was Cantor’s loss.
Senators don’t have to listen to their constituents- they only have to please the big donors and the media- but, as Cantor’s loss showed, that ain’t true for the House.
Boehner’s schemes are great for pleasing the donors and the media but require conservative members to vote against their constituents’ interests.
AND the conservatives are organized now. This was a raw show of power by the House Freedom Caucus.
