The House Majority Whip, Kevin McCarthy, has sent the GOP caucus home for the night. I sure am glad we spent a whole week on the Boehner bill. When does Boehner realize that some Republicans want the US to default?
Game the scenarios:
I’ve seen the House debt ceiling vote described as a vote of confidence in Boehner. Do you think Boehner survives as Speaker?
Boehner seems desperate not to be holding the bag. His obvious plan was to send the House bill to the Senate and dare them not to pass it. Will the Boehner bill pass at all?
Whats the end game? I think the Democratic plan is to pass the Senate bill and pass it in the House with Ds + 25 Rs. I think the 14th amendment option has to be back on the table.
Speculate away.
