There will come a time when the tea party faithful get tired of seeing their Representatives come home for another 5-week congressional break with nothing more than a handful of failed ACA repeal votes.

He's left it open-ended to where the disgruntled back-benchers can lob any excuse to vacate the chair, and if enough of them are lined up for a broad attack the House leadership is going to have to appease a lot of different egos...<br /><br />I wonder if this has anything to do with the limits on pork-barrel projects that make it harder for Speakers to utilize the Carrot approach in the Carrot-Stick dynamic.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092023794397583036noreply@blogger.com
