Boehner may have to cut deal with Pelosi to save his job

[Jackson]

Ok, so you guys oust Boehner. Then what?

At least that'll give the traitor something to really cry about.

So you think that the people we elect to run this country should be more focused on petulence than a functioning aystem?

Perhaps you should focus on the concept of the people being elected actually represent their constituents instead of trying to impress people with big words that you apparently don't know the definition of.

The landslide wins by Republicans in the house and senate in '12 and '14 were due to people wanting this insanity stopped. That's hardly 'petulant'. All people want is for the Republicans who they voted in office, including Benedict Boehner to represent them, not be rubber stamps for the Democrats continual insanity.

Ohhh, but hey, elected officials representing their constituents, ahhh...that's just 'petulant'

Two things. First of all, I think you might want to check on your dates there. Did you mean 2010 and 2014, by any chance? The Dems gained 8 seats in the House in 2012, and only lost 2 in the Senate.

But more importantly, your claims of some sort of popular mandate to oust Boehner are pretty silly. You are aware that John Boehner won his elections in 2010, 2012, and 2014, right?

He seems to be just what "the people" he represents want.

I wouldn't say that. There has been threats to oust him shortly after the time he became elected. I just hope this one comes to fruition.

My guess is that article is a liberal's pipe dream. If Boehner doesn't have the votes from his own party I don't see him putting up a fight. He'll either toe the line for conservatives if he wants to put off any call for a vote and keep his position. If a vote comes up and he doesn't have Republican support he'll resign.

No. a liberal's pipe dream is that he continues to be Speaker of the House and give in to Obama like he's doing now.

A liberal pipe dream is someday republicans taking an interest in responsible governance.

I'm pleased with your open mind.

Boehner was recently re-elected speaker. He has the support he needs from his party.

The fringers drag out the "ousters" just like they drag out impeach Obama resolutions. It gives them something to try to stump around and raise money with during a break.

"Boehner may have to cut deal with Pelosi to save his job"

Pity he doesn't do so because it's best for the country.

Shut up.

There is a chance Pelosi could win if Republicans split their vote!!

Opps, did I say that? Well, Democrats could take advantage of the party rebellion. Normally, the Republican House Speaker would step down for the good of the party.

In other words, Boehner may resign the speakership in order for the Republicans to keep control of the House. Democrats would love to have the last year of O's administration and a McConnel Senate while controlling the speakership. Republicans tend to pick some bad times to rebel.

With Boehner, there is no bad time to rebel. Goes for McConnell too.

How very interesting.

What I find strange is that Boehner would want to keep his job. Why ? When your party seems to be less thrilled with you ?

If he makes the deal, it would indicated that he is more interested in number one. Not that I could really blame him.

But history would clearly show that he mattered more than anything else.

By the By--the opposition to Boehner need at least a third of the Caucus to cause Boehner to consider resigning. Any less and He is still speaker, . Between say 1/3 and 2/3s, Speaker Pelosi is speaker.

The opposition need at least 2/3 of the Republicans to oust Boehner and keep the speakership. To be honest, I don't think that many Republicans want Boehner out.
