The more the GOPe resists Barack Obama now, the more the wind would go out of the sails of the insurrectionists (of whom I count myself one) and the less would be the perceived need for Donald Trump.
This strategy is no doubt one which the Democrats are praying for because they must do something to activate their base and move the discussion away from the appalling record of Barack Obama and onto a false issue, especially one having to do with women's rights. But we all know the Democrats don't pray and, anyway, this prayer will never be answered by the likes of Boehner and McConnell who will never shut the government down as long as they can keep it open.
Not only have Boehner and McConnell undermined the country, undermined their constituents, undermined the Republican Party, they have also effectively wrecked their own Republican establishment. To alter the old joke, it is like watching your country being driven over the cliff with Boehner and McConnell driving and riding shotgun.
