It does not appear that John Boehner is even attempting to exert any leadership on his caucus. I’m trying to figure out the right analogy to describe his approach. It’s kind of like he’s the first lemming to reach the cliff. As we know, lemmings are not known for their introspection at such times.
Maybe another way of looking at it is to think of soccer or football games played by pre-teenagers. The kids run after the ball but they have no discipline and can’t implement any strategy. Making John Boehner the leader of the House is like making an eight year old the coach of an eight year old soccer or football team.
He does nothing to distinguish himself from the pack.
