re: #94 Mattand

This is actually a good point. If Boehner were truly off the rails, he would have rubber stamped every Tea Party wish, regardless of how stupid.

It’s very easy to visualize Cantor going down that road. And we saw how well radical conservatism did in November.

I think Cantor as speaker is unbelievably frightening. He would completely go along with not raising the debt limit - and the repercussions would be felt world-wide. A US created global depression; one created for no reason whatsoever. US Dollar as world reserve currency? Buh bye forever.
