19. I would like to see how the Repukes play this come election time. Will their party fracture?
My guess is that marginal or vulnerable Repukes will distance themselves from the tea parties, while "safe" Repukes will embrace them. Boehner has no fear of losing his seat, so of course he'll embrace the tea baggers. Scott Brown, on the other hand, needs to tread lightly on that ground. He actually could end up being a formidable force if the Repukes allow him to play the "moderate" game just as McDonnell and Ritchie did. Liars!! It's such a fucking charade.
