Fantasy time:

In a bout of self-awareness, Boehner realizes how much harm a small handful of radicals is doing to the country, and maybe the globe. He calls for a resolution funding both the debt ceiling and the budget for a year, with no ACA strings attached.

They pass, partly due to the “moderates” finding their spine because the leader of the House is finally standing up to the loons. The resolutions pass.

Boehner would have to resign, but does so with the knowledge he did something because he did what any patriot would do: put country above party.

Why are you all laughing at me?
