To the op, i don't think that this is a great thing.  I would have loved to take our chances in a budget fight.  I think that we could have won with the right strategy and i already think that we have the candidates to get the message out.  Short of that i don't see how pushing bohner out is a victory.  

 

McConnell not going with reconciliation or suspending the filibuster rule was the problem.  I think that a VICTORY would have been one of the candidates (specifically the three senators) selling the reallocation of funds to other care providers and then compelling the senate to act and leaving a bill on the Presidents desk.  I think this just makes us look splintered and now we are going to have a protracted battle over speaker that will probably result in McCarthy being the speaker anyway.
