re: #435 lawhawk

The only way that this gets done is if Boehner drops the Hastert rule to allow Democrats to vote along with a handful of GOPers to fund government.

I’m predicting that this is exactly the plan. Boehner’s out anyway. What are the TPers going to do, primary him? Pfft.

I’m guessing that the day before he leaves, they force through the two-year budget by getting rid of the Hastert rule, then it gets strong-armed in the Senate, and then both parties are spared from having any sort of budget fight in a presidential election year. It will be Sir John of Orange’s final fuck you to the teabaggers who made his life miserable.
