Boehner is putting on a show right now to take the flag of leadership from Cruz but they (RINO LEADERS) don’t have any real fight in them because we are headed for an eventual cave of some sort.
The grassroots can hold their feet to the fire and push them to keep fighting but at some point the white flag goes up.
The political machine does not know how to fight a winning battle because they believe such an all out fight is not supported by public opinion.
When it came to civil rights, John Kennedy did not come out full bore for it until the sights of water cannon and dogs aimed at teenagers protesting in Birmingham (May 1963) shifted public opinion on race dramatically.
oh yes they do.....When it comes to being re-elected they will do anything!.....as far as making a stand on ideals and principles that got them elected..they'll give them up in a heartbeat to gain a few votes...
