Timed just for the morning news cycle. I expect this to be wrapped up by end of day...

“I think the Speaker’s position is actually secure,” Dent said. “Some of the leadership got pulled over by this really poorly thought-out tactic by Sen. Cruz to defund Obamacare as part of the C.R.”

I imagine that there is a very long line of Republicans queueing up to volunteer to drive the bus .....

Reread the article. This is Dent's prediction of how things will fall out. I agree with him that I think Boehner will overrule Teddie and the Cruzers and put the bill up for a vote, but Dent is only predicting, and Boehner hasn't agreed to anything yet.

If Boehner does bring it up for a vote, it will not be over. The GOP will begin primarying each other. I expect furious wooing of donors to see which camp they'll contribute to. Whichever faction gets the bucks will try to unseat the other.
