No one who backs #immigration reform can honestly believe threatening @SpeakerBoehner that POTUS will act unilaterally will spur him 2 act.
@ThePlumLineGS Actually it will particularly ensure that he doesn't act. Period end of story.

@DavidMDrucker Really? So Boehner *would* act if there were no discussion of unilateral action? -
@ThePlumLineGS As I've said, highly unlikely he takes action that divides caucus in election year. But this makes it even harder. -
@DavidMDrucker if Obama acts, there won't be any legislative reform until 2017. only way Boehner acts is if he believes that will happen -
@ThePlumLineGS Boehner not going to jeopardize majority or chance at another term as speaker for this. In politics, it's always 1 at a time.

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS drucker’s right here. -
@JakeSherman@DavidMDrucker Jake, no matter how many times you ignore this, I'm not saying the chances are good for action. (1/2) -
@ThePlumLineGS@DavidMDrucker ignoring? just saying drucker's insight into what Boehner is thinking is accurate. -
@JakeSherman@DavidMDrucker Boehner is not actually saying to himself, "I'm less likely to act if I get threatened." come on. It's a dance -
@ThePlumLineGS@JakeSherman Any pol wants to protect their power - don't want to look like they acted under duress. JB no different. -
@DavidMDrucker@JakeSherman the quote came from Reid, not Obama. Boehner not going to take it seriously
