He knows he'd lose as the remaining moderate Republicans would side with the level headed Dems. Boehner used to me a moderate Republican, but the 30/40 Tea Party nutters have terrified him of losing funding or being primaried.

Boehner is still too cowardly to let his own party vote. Unheard of!

Meanwhile millions of Americans look at Boehner will disgust.

This is his, and the Tea Party's Waterloo
