re: #56 Targetpractice

Which pretty much is the problem in a nutshell: The party base is out of their fucking gourds and yet also hold enough votes in the House to prevent Boehner from passing anything on a straight vote. There’s no guarantee he could even put enough votes on the table to pass a bill, even if Nancy could guarantee 100% Dem support.

That’s why things may have to wait till January: Boehner can’t make any moves that would run a major risk of getting him removed as speaker, and any deal is going to involve some form of pulling the wool over the base’s eyes.
