Bauer offers a good prescription for Boehner to overcome his problem
Could not not post this item from Campaign for Working Families:
The latest release of Clinton emails from the State Department contained a fascinating nugget. As returns were coming in during the historic 2010 elections, Sidney Blumenthal, who was also giving Mrs. Clinton a lot of foreign policy advice, attempted to cheer her up by bashing the incoming speaker of the House, John Boehner.
Here is the “intel” on Boehner that Blumenthal provided to Hillary:
“Boehner is despised by the younger, more conservative members of the House… He is louche, alcoholic, lazy, and without any commitment to any principle. . . He is not Gingrich, the natural leader of a ‘revolution,’ riding the crest into power. He is careworn and threadbare, banal and hollow. . .”
I don’t know how John Boehner will react to this blistering attack on his character. But if I were Boehner, I would get up every morning from now until the day I left office determined to prove Blumenthal wrong.
I would make the left fully appreciate just how energetic and committed I was to advancing a conservative “revolution” of government reform by doubling down on the investigations of Benghazi, the IRS and the VA, and demanding criminal prosecutions.
I would be scheduling votes on commonsense conservative legislation every week, forcing Democrats to take tough votes time and again. And, yes, I would be willing to shut down the government to fight the president’s repeated abuses of power until our system of checks and balances was fully restored.
But that’s me.
