Did we learn something last night?
Boehner blinked...yes...that's what the headlines said....

but didn't we learn something else that we need to consider going forward?

I think we learned that we're really dealing with a three-party House of Representatives and, in that structure, the majority party is...
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY...we, combined have more votes and solidarity that the teaanderthals and traditional repubs do INDIVIDUALLY. We can govern by pealing off traditional repubs and keeping the theanderthals as a minority. Boehner "controls" NOTHING!

This is my first response to what happened last night...maybe we need to think about how to use this information to our advantage.
