re: #188 Dark_Falcon

I’m not sure he can, mentally. What John Boehner doesn’t want is to be turfed out of the speakership and then become some lame-duck pariah. The problem is he hasn’t really been willing to risk enough to have a real chance of avoiding that outcome. He really needed to have made the case for actions other than shutdown early this year and then say he either needed his caucus to give him the freedom to speak for them or else accept his resignation.

Do you think Boehner is a good speaker? For reals.
