Anyone who votes for ‘bonehead’ is not a true American.

It would be even greater if conservatives all across the country coalesced as a block behind one opposition candidate.

Otherwise...I think JB should win rather easily tomorrow, especially when confronted with divided opposition.

Nope. Boring as hell. Because Stevie Wonder could see whats coming. It should not shock anyone on FR that they will receive exactly what many of them stupidly empowered.

Trey Gowdy running for Speaker?

I don't think so. He has said he will not do so. Do you really want him to give up the Chair of the Benghazi committee?

“In response, Abraham inquired of the LORD if he would spare the city if 50 righteous people were found in it, to which the LORD agreed he would not destroy it for the sake of the righteous yet dwelling therein. Abraham then inquired of God for mercy at lower numbers (first 45, then 40, then 30, then 20, and finally at 10), with the LORD agreeing each time.[Gen 18:22-33]”

RINOs are destroying the Republican party.

Make that out of 246. One of Boehner’s votes quit recently en route to prison. The replacement RINO await’s Staten Island’s special election.

I think that this is just a ploy to pacific the sheep until the slaughter house is up and running.

I was asking (not stating) who were all of the Republican candidates seeking the Speakership?

I’ve heard Trey Gowdy’s name frequently mentioned in all of this, but no indication from him that he’s seeking the Speakership.

Well yesterday it was 7. Today 10. Some may be laying back to see how the wind blows before the actual vote tomorrow.

I’d like to believe they have 29 or 30 votes and are going to ambush Tammy Faye but I doubt it.

I think as soon as the first Democrat name that says “John Boehner” for their voice vote speaks out, all remaining Republicans will vote someone else and it will go to committee.

Gowdy refused. Yoho is a good guy and was endorsed by Massie.

Marsha Blackburn is a suggestion.

Gohmert, Yoho are a cut above anybody like Boehner.

Mistly. I said they will keep Bhoner by 1 vote and blame it on an evenly split electorate. I hope to be proven wrong.

I sense that there are a lot of fence sitters who will break against Boehner if they see a critical mass reached.

Apparently most of these hacks fear DC more than their district voters.
That must change.

Why would anyone want or support a guy mirroring Bhoner on Amnesty?

Might as well. Without the lying press supporting him, it appears nothing but a low-level buzz will come from these hearings anyway.

Dangerous days.
