Had family living in Cincinnati during Boehner's terms in office. He won their votes. Often watched the community in action and found them to be informed and supportive of Boehner.
But then, Levin and assorted others decided he had to go because...............they were sure that one of the 20 plus conservatives could win the Speaker's office. Think about that.
Much as the folks believed DT, they believed the endless rants against Boehner as tho he was the devil himself.
As he himself said......it was like herding cats...........
Of course, when you are on the radio and TV pandering to the mostly uninformed you can sway the listeners.
That worked out really well, didn't it.
