5. Boehner hasn't sold out. He used to conspire against Teabaggers. Now he's scared as shit.

It was in 2012, I think at the RNC. There was a vote on party-procedures, how the republican party would nominate presidential candidates.

Boehner and other moderate republicans had proposed a measure that would give the party-establishment more control over the process. The vote was supposed to be cast by show of hands.

1. Bus-drivers were bribed to keep opponents of this measure from attending in time.
2. There's a video: Boehner is shown from behind, supposedly counting the show of hands. Instead he was READING THE DESIRED OUTCOME FROM A TELEPROMPTER. When he announced the "result", the hall erupted in boos. (The video looked to me like Boehner's measure would have lost narrowly. A draw at best.)

John Boehner rigged a party-vote to keep Teabaggers from gaining too much power. That's a fact.

7. Trouble is, you know who's waiting in the wings: Cantor.

He's been drooling all over himself to get his hands on the gavel.
