Look, we know that Washtington is out of touch with the rest of the nation. Conversely, the rest of the country does not fully grasp the particulars of the alternative surreality that operates in Washington. And Boehner has to operate in that weird milieu.
Fundamentally, Boehner is on the right course for the time being.
If the Demagogue Party succeeds in imposing their narrative, it won't matter if Boehner was 110% faithful to Tea Party ideals. There are enough Sheeple to be swayed by State Run Media propaganda if Boehner seems to be too inflexible.
I got frustrated with Trump yesterday when he said on Hannity's radio show that Paul Ryan is "too far in front." The Donald wasn't criticizing the substance-- only the perception. We all know that Ryan's plan is only the first step in really getting our house in order. But if you can't even sell this plan, what makes anyone think that you can sell the voting public on a truly radical plan?
Well said. Thank you.
