Comment: Codevilla observed that Boehner and McConnell nullified the 2010 election and continued on in that spirit. In 2012 NPR noted Obama's re-election was a boon for Boehner:
Codevilla on GOP Establishment merging with Democrats:
12/15/13, "Breaking the UniParty," Angelo M. Codevilla
"The Republican Party’s leaders have functioned as junior members of America’s single ruling party, the UniParty. Acting as the proverbial cockboat in the wake of the Democrats’ man-of-war, they have
made Democratic priorities their own
when the White House and the Congress
were in the hands of Republicans as well as in those of Democrats, and when control has been mixed.
The UniParty, the party of government, the party of Ins, continues to consist of the same people. The Outs are always the same people too:
American conservatives. They don’t have a party.
Whatever differences exist within the Uniparty, between Republican John Boehner and Democrat Nancy Pelosi, between Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Harry Reid, get worked out behind closed doors. Those differences are narrow....
The UniParty is unanimous: more of the same!
Hence, so long as the Uniparty exists, mere voters will have no way of affecting what the government does."...
===========================
Codevilla: Boehner ignored the will of voters who put him in power:
9/17/13, "The Obama-Boehner Project," Angelo M. Codevilla, libertylawsite.org
"These heads of our ruling class’Democratic and Republican branches made plans with reference only to the ruling class’ priorities, and assumed that the rest of America would be too stupid or too awed to object....
The Republican Party owes its majority in the House of Representatives – and John Boehner his speakership thereof – to the American people’s dislike of Obamacare. Because the US Constitution is explicit that the US government may expend only funds appropriated by Congress, Obamacare has existed strictly at the sufferance of the House leadership since that majority took office in January 2011. But John Boehner and his chosen band have thwarted the majority of Republican congressmen’s desire to use the constitutional power they have to refuse to appropriate money for Obamacare. In this, Boehner &co. have worked in bipartisan coordination with the ruling class, including the media, including Fox News....
The ruling class’ foolishness and insincerity, its willingness to insult the American people’s intelligence, are no joke. But we can take comfort in its transparent ineptitude."
========================
NPR noted Obama's 2012 re-election was a boon for Boehner:
.
12/8/2012, “Once Boxed-In, Boehner May Finally Be Master Of The House,” NPR, Frank James
"In a paradoxical way, Obama's re-election victory coupled with congressional Democrats adding to their numbers
may have helped Boehner.
Some of those wins came at the expense of the Tea Party, the conservative movement whose affiliated House members have been very willing to stand up to Boehner....
"It is somewhat unprecedented, though, to see speakers starting off their tenure at a severe disadvantage and then cementing their power later,
which appears to be happening right now with Boehner.""...
