The Republican Party After Boehner Bows Out (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

So John Boehner is headed out as Speaker of the House. Conservative critics within his own Republican party are cheering his resignation. Convinced and angry that he was never tough enough, never hardline enough, in spearheading hard right demands and confronting Democrats. Are they unrealistic? “Absolutely they’re unrealistic!” said Boehner yesterday, warning of “false prophets” and frenzy. But he’s headed out. Now the GOP will look to what it really wants to be and to champion. This hour On Point, the Republican party, after John Boehner. – Tom Ashbrook
