It is January 2 and the vote is in a few days and there are no alternative candidates much less any announced candidates. To dethrone a sitting Speaker takes a lot of planning (months), behind the scenes political skill and hardball. None of that has happened and it isn't going to happen this time either.

Remember back in 1998, when a group of politicians tried to dethrone Gingrich as speaker - there was a cabal of them including Boehner. They worked quietly behind the scenes trying to obtain support and it did not work.

Please tell me how this will work? Implosion is not sufficient explanation and is a cop out. It smacks of wishful fantasy again.

Can you describe the steps that need to happen in the next few days for Boehner to be shoved out of the Speaker's chair? Point A to point B...if this was October and there were active candidates running against Boehner, then it is possible. No one has laid the groundwork needed to be elected Speaker.

Irrelevant.

You asked how it is possible and I schooled you on how it is possible.

Considering history is full of politicians imploding, the only legitimate, mature and sane response is you thanking me for making you that less ignorant in life.

But if you want to change the topic to your own liking from my original one sentence post of Boehner going down, to inflate your obvious shallow ego, then take your reply from the owner of the forum you are posting on and bring it up with him.

You don’t even seem to be aware that you are posting in a thread with “scandal” in the headline.
