The #29 assumes that no Democrats will vote for Boehner as speaker.

So if Boehner is denied the initial majority in the first vote, who is he more likely to make a deal with, (1) The group of conservatives in the House trying to oust him and his leadership or (2) Pelosi and the Dems. Ask yourself this, as Boehner ever used/required Dem support to get past conservatives in the past? Well there’s your answer.

Back door deal to increase Dem power on committees and blacklist conservatives leading the fight to oust him. That is Boehner’s plan it would appear.

Absolutely.

I will be SHOCKED beyond measure if enough in the GOP are willing to be punished, publicly scorned and overcome the corruption and intimidation to actually oust Boehner from his chair.

I will be shocked, and gleefully surprised.

But I am not holding my breath. DC is beyond redemption and will not allow itself to be corralled to the will of the people or the Constitution via civil means.

Boehner is already a backstabber! He's already backlisting conservatives.

If the Dems help to elect Boehner, then it will be obvious who Boehner really is. If Republicans go along with this strategy, then we are doomed anyway.
