John Boehner Needs to Break Bad

It has become apparent that House Speaker John Boehner has lost control of House Republicans. So the question becomes what should he do? From my estimation the speaker has two options. One, he can continue to be rebuffed by his own party for another year until he loses his speakership in 2014.

Or he can take option two and create an alliance with a few republicans (20 or so) and all the Democrats to pass a long term debt “fix” bill that will balance our budget over the next decade. This is assuming he can get a short term debt limit increase passed. I know that’s a big assumption. This alliance will give John Boehner a place in American political history that will outlast any of his current opponents. Just look at newt Gingrich the “Historian”.

Now it is true that both option have a bad immediate outcome for the Speaker. He will no doubt lose his speakership no matter what he does. But option number two leaves him a career bigger then being a contributor to FOX News.
