The Republican retreat was not in Washington, DC. It was at the Greenbriar in WV, about 4.5 hours drive from DC.
If I were a potential GOP presidential candidate, I think I would avoid the RNC meeting with a battle for its leadership the main event.
This is an ABC story about making something out of nothing, and Boehner’s reply reflected that.
Apparently it was at the Homestead in VA, not Greenbriar in WV. Hard to keep those luxury mountain retreats separated in my mind. Essentially the same thing, tho. Neither is that close to DC.
