I also worry that extremely partisan politics has gutted our legislature of statesmen and stateswomen, and has left us with spineless pond scum. I think this has happened on both sides of the aisle, but more so on the GOP side, simply because of the effects of gerrymandering that has played toward their extreme right base, and the need to say anything, no matter how ugly it might be, for more than a decade. Boehner was hardly a moderate, and Ryan knows what he has to do to stay in power. IMHO we are really fucked. When the stage is set like this, historically speaking, the play is pretty bleak.
