House Dems to rescue John Boehner’s dumb ass one last time

GOP sources are telling Politico that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is looking to move a bill that would lift the debt ceiling before he steps down. According to the Politico report, published Wednesday... GOP leadership is willing to put forth a standalone debt ceiling bill -- a so-called "clean" bill -- before a new speaker takes over Boehner's gavel.
You really have to wonder what is coming next. THE GOP has gerrymandered its way into a nearly unbreakable majority which it can't use because at least 30 House Republicans are certifiably insane.

My personal opinion: I felt that Hillary was the clear winner of last night's debate. She was strong, quick on her feet, humorous. I feel her performance ended Joe Biden's presidential aspirations outright, unless something shocking and unknown happens at the Partisan Get Hillary Committee hearing next week. Biden is back to being an emergency Plan B candidate. The viscous cycle of bad press and thus bad poll numbers and thus bad press and thus bad poll numbers is ended by the debate. Reports were that Hillary's campaign team were ecstatic after the debate, and as well they should be. Bernie Sanders had some good moments, and two or three awful ones. His gun control position, and his unprepared, unsure and halting response to the criticism, were horrible. He had to have known he would be attacked for that, and that was the answer he came up with. And his Syria answers were not ready for primetime. But the best moment of the night, the moment that probably will stand out to most people and the media, was his very charming and very New York exclamation: "enough about her damn emails!" I grew to openly despise Jim Webb over the course of the evening. First, stop complaining about your time. No one likes whiners. Second, is he sure he is on the right stage? Seems more suited to the Republican party. Lincoln Chafee should drop out. Now. This very second. And Martin O'Malley had one really good and emotional answer, and his overall performance was probably good enough to be regarded officially as "the third candidate."
