You’re correct, Boehner cannot be trusted. But at least lets see how this plays out and if he acts in favor of our conservative instincts then let’s give credit where credit is due and let our Tea Party reps know that they must keep Boehner’s feet to the fire on other issues too. The question is this though, if Boehner is going to get 13 Dems on board for a veto override it will take some horse trading with the Dems who are even willing to talk about a veto override vote on Keystone, Obamacare or Immigration. What are any of you going to accept as a compromise to get those Dem votes on any of these issues.

Personally, I think Boehner will not have to do too much horse trading for a veto override on Keystone, the Dems are being pressured by their own constituencies on that issue, it will still take a Republican gesture to get the votes but not much. On the issues of Obamacare and Immigration, I think we can only win on one and expect to get enough override votes - (on Immigration) - but it would take a lot of horse trading for that. I think it best that any vote on Obamacare be symbolic - (Boehner would never be able to get enough Dems to vote for a override on this) - but Obamacare is likely to get a death blow from the USSC and with the electorate with all the cancellations that are about to happen due to the employer mandate now in effect. We can probably get Keystone and Immigration passed even against a veto but will not be able to get all three.
OOPS, Boehner needs about 20 House Dems for an override, it is the Senate that needs 13 Dems to override a veto.
My question is, what rolled him to do the right thing all of a sudden? It certainly wasn’t conviction.
What correct buttons did Gohmert and Yoho press to unlock his combo?
