There is no doubt in my mind that Boehner is gone as speaker after the next election. McConnell seems to have a uncanny way of surviving when he shouldn’t so that’s a harder call. But I do not think he will be a GOP leader post 2016 election. “The Folks” really hate Boehner and McConnell, look what happen to Rand Paul for simply endorsing McConnell in Ky. Paul is toast for just being nice to McConnell.
Thank you for unlocking the Rand Paul mystery for me. I had no idea why he has polled so abysmally. I had forgotten about the McConnell endorsement. I recall, now that you mention it, thinking at the time that Paul was a GOPe hack after all. Afterward, never having been a Paul fan, I forgot it even happened.
Well if only Boehner loses his speakership, that will still be a yuge improvement. Nevertheless I hope McConnell goes down too. He declared outright war on the TEA party, you may remember. Be nice if his turncoat chickens finally came home to roost.
