Or, will Romney simply be given a baloney sandwich and shooed out the back door to deliver a message to Boehner that simply reads – ” I Won, get your Tea Party members in line”
Just because you might take an ass whipping is NO REASON not to fight as hard as you can.
I expect GOP leadership to effectively curl up in a fetal position and whimper for the next two years.
