I don't think Boehner ever wanted the Speakers job and wanted to quit for years. The Pope's visit was the only thing that made him want to stay and now Boehner is happy to leave.

The MSM twist is that Boehner is a victim of the conservatives. Boehner is good. Conservatives are bad.

Not quite, Chris. Conservatives just sacrificed Boehner for the good of the Republic.

Nothing like a rabid liberal telling us the motives of a RHINO. Get lost Chris, go back to your bloviating on Hugh Hewitt’s show.

BS. He was part of the coup that ousted Newt. Karma just caught up with him.

Oh for Pete's Sake!!!!!!!!!!

Boehner quit because he KNEW he wasn't doing the job people put him in that position to do...he has NO ONE to blame but himself...

And these lib rags can be used to wipe up the crap in the gutters of every city in America, that is how useful they are!!!

Get a life, libs you have done enough damage to this Country and WE aren't going to let you do anymore and if you don't like it, take the same door out as boehner did and don't let it hit you in the butt on the way out!!!

You took that from another thread didn't you?......With that being said, why would boehner want to be in the attendance of the Pope? Nothing to gain and no selfies allowed...........

He’ll cry all the way to several cushy Board of Directors gigs, and/or $Million$ per year lobbying congress....unless Trump can break up some of that stuff. Probably not the BOD gigs. Maybe crimp the lobbying slightly.

the headline is not correct

Boehner received a vote of no confidence by those walking the halls

the party in effect no longer backed his lack of leadership in really fighting the whitehouse

Since he's quitting Congress altogether, also, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there's a little personal scandal lurking around somewhere...waiting to leak out.
