Lied his way through the interview.... And little Luke did not challenge him in any way with any kind of tough follow-up questions.

Even Boner's Plan B couldn't pass in his own caucus.
They are so predictable.
We should be able to outflank them on a regular basis.

and decided to let the Senate pass it because the intransigent senators are not in safely gerrymandered districts. The GOP has gerrymandered the house districts to practically ensure they'll continue to win unit after the next census. So the House can be the bad guys.
