Perhaps there is hope for Boehner after all. Any of the “conservatives” upset with Boehner for doing this would be upset because they have betrayed their supposed conservatives beliefs and have marked themselves for future handling by the base, a base they clearly despise and betray at first opportunity.

RE:”Boehner Loyalists Upset His GOP Challengers Rewarded With House Subcommittee Chairmanships”

Maybe it's because because the challenges were such a joke its like it was planned by Boehner himself, like a setup.

GOP votes to give John Boehner 2 more years (11/13/14 )

Rep. Louie Gohmert never voted, IIRC.

I’ll wait to see what he’s given KS Rep. Tim Huelskamp, whom he had stripped of everything last year because Tim didn’t “play nice” with the establishment, before deciding Boehner’s showing magnanimity.

An anonymous Boehner loyalist serving in the House told the National Journal the appointment of Gohmert as chairman of a subcommittee “is a major slap in the face.”

They need to be slapped more.

Not that we didn't already know that there were Democrat infil-traitors in the GOP.

The melted-down phone lines calling for Boehner’s ouster rattled him.

I wonder if the conservatives actually had enough votes to force a 2nd vote and Bohener negotiated with them to remain Speaker.

Is Steve King still on the immigration subcommittee.

Trey Gowdy almost cried when King made him look like a fool.

Here’s what these loyalists are really upset about. They sold their souls for personal gain and now they’re p-o’ed that people won’t craven aren’ being punished, that they’re getting some benefit without selling their souls. They’re angry at themselves for what they’ve become. Am I wrong?

Boehner loyalists... Is there such a thing as loyalty in the liberal GOP? ..

“We have your backs....” Not

It is just the DC version of internal bribery.

Louis can't be bought with money, but the power of being head of a committee, that's just another kind of making nice, DC style.

I love Gohmert, but if he starts kissing boner butt, we'll know that the bribe worked.

I hope I'm wrong.
