re: #216 Dr Lizardo

That’s definitely a theory. If he throws in the towel now, the Teahadis will seek nothing less than his head on a platter. If he waits until the last possible moment, then he can claim ‘I had no choice but to do this in order to save the US economy’ or something along those lines.

At what point do the non-radicals in the GOP House want his head since a bunch of them are probably not in safe gerrymandered districts? Their re-election chances are going further and further down the drain along with the GOP brand the longer they allow Boehner to keep the hostage crisis running.
