What House Failure Has Shown About the Cliff
ReplyDeleteThere's more than just this brief quote.
The Plan B vote was supposed to be a combination of a confidence-building and fallback option for Mr. Boehner. Its success was to send a message to the White House that he could deliver his caucus, thereby strengthening his hand in negotiation and constructing a fallback so his members wouldn’t take the blame for pushing the country off the cliff. Now there is no confidence he can deliver his caucus, and no obvious fallback plan in the House.
