6. Does not matter? If Ryan and the GOP crazies refuse to vote

Cantor will not put a bill on the floor.

And if you think Boehner is out of the loop, you must be joking. The rule would not have passed without his approval. And, given the full support the GOP is giving him in the news today (there is nobody who can take Boehner's place is the latest talking point), my feeling is that you have the positions reversed. Cantor is doing Boehner's bidding not the opposite.
