A six week extension is a whole lot better for him than none.
It’s all the Republican House members are willing to give him, and if the Senate Republicans don’t ride to his rescue Saturday it’s all he’s gonna get.
Actually Boehner may grant a three month extension to get the issue past the holidays.
This would require the Senate Republicans to block Harry’s ‘rule’ for his debt limit bill tomorrow.
Then House Dems must vote to pass the three month extension.
He cannot get R support for that long.
To get the conservatives to let him do this deal Boehner will have to agree to stick to the CR/Obamacare fight and minibill strategy- no matter what the Senate Republicans do- or something of equal value to them.
