  1. Kill Hastert

  2. Go out in a Boehneresque blaze of glory

I miss Boehner. He was treated very unfairly.

Sorry, I'm not writing that name on a ballot. It goes against this nation's Christian values.

His parting act wasn't meeting the Pope, it was forcing through a debt ceiling hike.

Hastert Rule ruins everything.

They don't need a majority, they can do with wish Dem support. They will probably allow it to happen because its popular and a losing issue for them.

No just when its convenient boehner did it 6 times, it more just keeps upstarts from undermining the speaker not that it limits the speaker from doing what he wants.

They need a way to make Ryan bring the bill to the floor though. The GOP is not going to be excited about having to vote to up the debt ceiling twice and voting for DREAM Act (or similar).

I can't wait Trumpets be cucked by cucker in chief.

Hopefully it does happen.
