In taking her eye off the House ball, she removed herself from the Tea Party caucus leadership role, and allowed Boehner to marginalize her, perhaps as the GOP-E intended. She's now lost a lot of her credibility, as the leaderless TEA Party freshmen have been coopted one by one, and is pretty much at Boehner's mercy.
“Boner has star power hisself?”
That’s the question I asked myself. I knew what this article by National Review would be like, as soon as I saw it was written by Robert Costa. I knew it would only parrot the liberal media’s side of the story, diminish Bachmann, and build up John Boehner. NRO’s reporters are in too tight with the GOP leadership. John Boeher, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy only have star power because of their titles; Speaker, House Majority Leader, and Whip. In reality, they don’t lead on anything and do nothing to build a relationship and/or trust with the public.
I am so sick of NRO carrying the water for their listless buddies who somehow got themselves into power in the GOP caucus.
So this normally means "Compromising" the candidates Conservative Principles.
No Ed, we know who the kooks are and it's you and your fellow traitors.
We will remember come election time.
From what I can tell, big donors use Rollins as a poison pill. They dangle the money to the candidate, stipulating that he be hired, and knowing that he'll torpedo the campaign.
Ed Rollins, Hit Man.
I think when new Republican US Representitives get to The House, they get one instruction from the speaker, “DON’T ROCK THE BOAT”. Michelle has been rocking the boat, won’t shut up, so the leadership will drag her to the bus and force her under it. The crying leader wuss will likely remove her from the Intelligence Committee after this election.
Hey, chump, that is NOT how you lead, GET FACTS before you make a decision!! This is about America and not some new guy to the golf course.
Please drop that cr*p! I hate it when libs do it against conservatives, and it isn’t any better in the opposite direction.
‘You were asking’ Ping!
“If anything, one GOP source says, the entire episode has been a distraction for Boehner”
Distracting him from his focus on caving into the Democrats on every issue. Its hard work thinking up excuses to backtrack on every promise you make the public to stand firm on the debt ceiling and de-funding Obamacare.
He did the same thing to Bill Simon's campaign in California, which up to that time had been wildly successful.
AMEN to that!
Ed Rollins, Hit Man, with establishment butt-kissing National Review driving his getaway car. NR loves the boys running the GOP show.
Can anyone answer this question? What is the procedure for removing boner and McConnell from their positions in the Senate and the House? Is it determined by the vote of the citizens of Ohio in boner's case, or?
Also, how can the rest of us help to remove these two ineffective leaders?
The only difference between Rollins and that snake Rove is about 200 pounds of blubber.
Rubio has lined up with those claiming Michelle Bachman is wrong that or government is being compromised by islamist infiltration. Rubio is either stupid or he’s in on it. To my mind there is no other possibility.
Her star power isn’t fading, its just starting.
