re: #364 Targetpractice

We’ve seen this movie enough times to guess how it goes: Dems refuse to sign onto the three week extension bill, Boehner tries to push forward with it under the assumption that enough TPers will sign onto it to avoid embarrassing him. They won’t, leaving him at the 11th hour with a bill that’s doomed to failure, so he pulls it and puts up the Senate bill that passes with mostly Dem support. The TPers make a lot of noise about deposing him, but realize there’s no “true conservative” who has enough votes to replace him, so they just continue to rattle their sabers.

The only question is one of timing; will the bill funding DHS pass before or after it temporarily shuts down?
