Boehner Spokesperson: We Haven't Made A Decision About Senate Deal
SHARE Spokesperson for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Michael Steel, tells ThinkProgress: “No decision has been made about how or when a potential Senate agreement could be voted on in the House.”

I am sure he will do the right thing, but really, he has decided to last to the very end.

1. He needs to go!

2. God, please...no more twists and turns. I don't even care anymore. Just make it stop.

Like near the end of a horror movie. Glenn Close is going to pop up out of the bathtub any minute now.

3. Some people in his caucus probably need convincing that this is the best deal they will be getting,

and default isn't really a practical alternative.

[Mass]

5. Or he can tell them to STFU

That would be leadership.

[PoliticAverse]

8. He will be bringing the bill to a vote, the convincing is about him retaining his speakership

most likely.

6. Except for a few, House GOP members want default.

[Mass]

7. I do not think so. But they are afraid to do the right thing.

[AlinPA]

4. He wil not allow a vote. He and Cruz are the leaders of the teabagger movement and are "all in".

[PoliticAverse]

9. Boehner isn't a teabagger. n/t

[AlinPA]

10. Sorry. His speeches and leadership on the "no vote" stance are no different than Gohmert and Bachman

Don't be surprised if he does not allow a vote on the Senate agreement tonight.

[PoliticAverse]

11. I wasn't surprised that he did allow the vote. Please adjust your opinions and

don't confuse rhetoric with reality.

[AlinPA]

12. I can't change my opinion of him easily, but he will certainly be faced with some reality soon,

despite his rhetoric because he did not follow through with the default for his fellow teaabggers.
