By blocking Boehner, the so-called Tea Party has won the battle and lost the war.
I think this is a terrible mistake and it simply hands all power over to the Dems.
It's too bad if it works out this way. TEA had a lot of control when they moved the debate SO significantly our way. There are no new taxes, some cuts, the debate has to come up again, and cuts/reforms in entitlements have to happen or they don't get another raise in debt. ie dems have to choose - cut/reform or no debt max.
But if this goes bad, TEA won't be remembered next nov for moving the debate so well, they'll be remembered for sabotaging a major win and... wait for it.... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
But it could still work out if we can get CCB debated.
