The Rats would be foolish not to support bohner as he just gave them an early Christmas present,
Republicans don’t need the democrats to remove Boehner.
All they need to do is convene quickly even electronically and count the votes they have to remove him.
I don’t think Boehner knows if has enough votes to sustain his Speakership. I think he is daring the republican caucus to move to remove him. If they don’t, Boehner will have removed any leverage they have and that means Obamacare wins totally because Boehner will never fight to defund or delay it.
