“Obviously, the speaker feels like he needs to find some other successor he can appoint, but that’s not the way it’s supposed to work, and we’ll go from here,” Gohmert said.

Let the House meet and override Boehner. Get Newt into DC and assume the House Speaker job.

[proust]

We got played.

So Boehner keeps the speakership by quitting it....

I just love Louie Gohmert. He’s a brave man with the courage of his convictions, and is not afraid to speak his mind.

[LegendHasIt]

Rep. Gohmert should throw his hat into the ring.
I fully understand why he would not want the job, but he is one of the few that I’d actually want to have as speaker.

[Bullish]

Yup, that struck me too. We’re living in a soon to be tyranny and the GOPe is helping take us there.

[Boomer]

Yep. Louie is right. It is exactly what someone would do if they had a dictator mindset.

Let that be one more black mark on his legacy which by now is just one long list of black marks and butt kissing.

[GreyFriar]

I wish Louie Gohmert would either put his own name forward to be speaker and take responsibility to solve the problems he complains about or admit he just likes to raise trouble without having to be accountable.

And I do like what Gohmert says. There was an old saying back when I was in the Army: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” It is time for Gohmert to step into leadership.
