hi tkc,
boehner got the shaft.
no way that he is in control. he just suffered a humiliating defeat. will possibly lose his job come january. this is still about the sheer inflexibility of the republican house.
amazing that these guys won't surrender to the wishes of the majority of americans.
but it is a deep flaw in the constitution that the clear winner still cannot govern.
if it is to function at all, this republican party needs to be replaced by something very different.
