I think Boehner realizes now that this is an existential fight. A fight for the existence of the GOP and for the Republic. If he backs down here and the Republican House blinks, it’s over. Permanently.
I agree with you. Its an existential fight and one that has to be won. There’s no turning back.
When you stand up to bullies, they always back down. We can win this one if we keep the pressure on and hold the line.
