The biggest problem is that the conservatives in the House are not in a majority of the party, just like the Senate
Just another effort by the news media to stir up he Republicans! I’m very suspicious especially coming from POLITICO.
Yet, but as the article states, on appeasing and useless efforts, Boehner does not automatically have the deciding majority he can control - having to go to the other side for allies.
The fact that he has to do this is extremely telling of his motives and actual respect he has for the citizens that gave his party in the House and in the Senate the historic margins they got last November.
If he can only rule the roost by intimidation of his own members and begging the opposition for the rest of the votes needed, he is not a leader, period. He’s a conniving hack who seems to be able to fool his district time and again, but he is no leader.
We took his right hand man in the primaries in the November runup. We should be working on getting him cut off at the knees the same way when he has to go back and lie to his district again.
