Completely agree. I hope the House leadership gets the message.

Boehner reportedly going to lay down markers at 3:30 pm. I have no doubt he’ll talk a good game, not sure if he’ll crumble later.

Ironically, it may be McConnell who gives Boehner a backbone, because McConnell needs sustained confrontation, not compromise.

Guessing he’ll fold and let the media spank him hard and often. It’s the GOP way.

Of course he will, just like he did during the last debt ceiling showdown.

Maybe some good will come out of losing Lugar's seat.
