Really? Now we are crediting Donald Trump, who has won nothing as of yet with the resignation of John Boehner? No credit to a guy like Mark Meadows and other House reps who have opposed Boehner well before Trump came along? No possibility that there was a personal issue, threat made, deal made,whatever? We just automatically assume and then a representative in a very friendly district who has been in congress for over 20 years is afraid because donald trump leads the polls in September? This love affair with Donald Trump is now overshadowing reality.
I’m afraid the truth is that the GOPe has reams of polling data showing that the base is supporting Trump because they’ve had it up to their eyeballs with Boehner and McConnell.
So utilizing the level of logic one would expect from a third-grade C student, they are forcing Boehner out, thinking that by handing us his head we will calm down and let them get on with their plan to nominate a RINO. The thought of Trump being their nominee has been compelling them to change their underwear every hour on the half-hour.
So in some tangential way Trump does deserve a lot of the credit.
Trump said great things would happen if we supported him and he wouldn’t need to explain why.
Seems like his prediction has come true already.
It’s possible Boehner saw in the tea leaves that he was likely to get Cantored if he didn’t resign first.
