House Speaker John Boehner insisted on holding a press conference today, and he scheduled it for 3 hours ago. He didn’t actually appear until 2 and a half hours later, and when he did, he ignored questions as to whether he had the votes or not to pass the Obama-McConnell compromise deal. It’s now looking quite shaky. Despite it having always been a long shot, I stand by my prediction of a clean debt ceiling raise vote and no “deal” at all.
UPDATE: My prediction was wrong, the deal was passed in the House. 95 Democrats voted for the deal and 95 voted against it. I refer you to this previous post about the “Super Congress” unconstitutional abomination.
