re: #186 Dark_Falcon

The truly annoying part is that the 2013 shutdown could have been avoided if John Boehner and Mitch McConnell had better created a message of the Augest break and not simply assumed Ted Cruz and company would fall into line. Cruz’s mule-headedness was under-appreciated, to dire effect.

I have to disagree Dark. Boehnhead and McConnman both were hoping to mine TeaParty cred and fake acting like real Republicans in the background hoping to placate two niches of the party. And both have never had the guts to stop Cruz and the Gang ever.

You may not want to keep ignoring the cold hard reality of the current GOP Dark, but they are so fractured and scared of some of their own members the same time they fear the voting public they have become paralyzed by their own stupidity.

I for one refuse to consider either Boehnhead or McConnman as leaders of anything. To use the term is a disservice to truly great leaders of the House or Senate Party groups that used to reside in Washington only 10 to 20 years ago.

History is not going to be kind to either.
