The rank and file arent happy.
A minimutiny may be underway in the House of Representatives as another conservative has come out to announce that he will oppose Rep. John Boehner in his re-election bid as House speaker.
[Snip]
Another Republican, Rep. Walter C. Jones of North Carolina, said there are up to 18 conservatives who are looking for an alternative to Mr. Boehner. In 2013, there were nine Republicans who didnt vote for Mr. Boehner.

Mr. Obama has been eating Mr. Boehners lunch for years. Early on, the president got the speaker to agree to $500 billion in new taxes. Then, in a White House meeting, Mr. Obama doubled that amount. Mr. Boehner balked, and walked.
But as he drove back to the Capitol, Mr. Obama held a hastily scheduled press conference to announce that Mr. Boehner had walked away from The Grand Bargain. Pwned.
After that, Mr. Boehner vowed to never again deal with Mr. Obama, a pathological liar, but the speaker has, time and again. Now, the rank and file of the GOP are wondering if they could do better than Mr. Boehner.
If it happens, itll happen fast and behind the scenes. But this time, theres a real feeling in the Capitol that anything could happen.

I am not interested in calling Boehner names and making fun of his crying and other personal attributes.
But it’s clear that new leadership is needed immediately.
And Boehner needs to go immediately.
I’ve been saying for over a year now that he is compromised. I am sure that he is.
Gohmert, Yoho, Blackburn are all far better than Boehner. The new Congress would be energized with a new promising Speaker.
It needs to happen.
It doesn’t take much to outsmart Obama, he is not a smart person, strategic thinker or tactician.
It’s the right message to send. God help the GOP if they don’t.
One thought...Boehner likely didn’t think/believe/realize that once SOTH, 0bummer would blackmail him.
That said, likely Boehner has been blackmailed - see Justice Roberts for how that works.
So, if Boehner is no longer SOTH, I figure he can’t be blackmailed???
Maybe, just maybe, he will be ousted. I’m sure 0bummer is working behind the scenes with other photos and recordings to try to make sure Boehner stays put.
Gohmert had it right on Tucker Carlson’s show yesterday when he said people are getting ready to leave the republican party. Things have got to change.
The Crying Cheeto!!! (hats off to Lazamataz)
It doesn’t matter how many challengers he has, does it? If he cannot win over 50%, he’s finished
