I think 20 or so Republicans will look good (some of them moles doing it for show) and not support Boehner, but he will win anyway.
A buncha ‘rats could easily come to Boner’s rescue.
If they come up short, let the dems have the mess...HOR, US Senate and Presidency in two years, if the nation lasts even that long.

Boehner will win with Rat votes. Why wouldn’t they vote for a house speaker that supports rat policies.
So why the hell did he NOT VOTE NO on the procedural vote (like the other 16 Repubs) that let it reach the floor?

Yup. The House of Kabuki will put on a fine show vote, full of drama, only to re-elect him by a close margin. It’ll be carefully choreographed to send the message that “ our voices were heard.”
