Boehner Spokesperson: We Haven't Made A Decision About Senate Deal
SHARE Spokesperson for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Michael Steel, tells ThinkProgress: No decision has been made about how or when a potential Senate agreement could be voted on in the House.

He wil not allow a vote. He and Cruz are the leaders of the teabagger movement and are "all in".

Sorry. His speeches and leadership on the "no vote" stance are no different than Gohmert and Bachman

(15,071 posts)12. I can't change my opinion of him easily, but he will certainly be faced with some reality soon,
