You mean, something is wrong in the Republican Party leadership?

[mn-bush-man]

But Democrats from across an ideological spectrum say they'd rather see Boehner remain atop the House than replace him with a more conservative Speaker who would almost certainly be less willing to reach across the aisle in search of compromise

Almost ruined my keyboard with sprayed coffee when I read this sentence. Where have we seen ANY compromise out of Boner? It's 100% CAVING 100% OF THE TIME!!

What’s that tell you when the Dems are willing to fight tooth and nail to keep Boehner in as Speaker?

Democrats Vow to Protect Boehner from Coup

If that headline alone isn't enough to get Boehner to step down then it's clear the man has no pride at all, and stands for nothing.

[P-Marlowe]

The Republicans by electing Boehner actually re-elected Nancy Pelosi. She runs the show now.

[Theodore R.]

Boehner is like Speaker Straus in TX: their backbones are Democrat. Each depends of Democrat support in many situations.

[Theodore R.]

Boehner stands for his pocketbook, and so do his “Republican” colleagues.

What "Republican Party leadership"?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Congressional Dhimmicrats: “The Republicans must reach across the aisle to US and validate our superior (socialist) ideology. We will wait but will not make any corresponding attempts to “reach” the Republican side.”

Congressional Republicans: “OK.”

[Shimmer1]

This shows how in league with the dems he is!

[grumpygresh]

Will the Dems even run an opponent in his district?
I’m sure the Dems would put up a unviable candidate and not give him a dime in order to keep boner in place.
This guy would definitely be worth taking out in the primary or the general in his district, splitting the GOP vote could work along with some outside help.

[P-Marlowe]

THAT'S OK, NANCY, YOU CAN KEEP IT.

John Boehner, a man who’s name will live in infamy forever(along with the Kenyan communist) is finished. It’s just a matter of whether he gets removed before or at the start of the next congress.

A RAT IS A RAT IS A RAT

[Arm_Bears]

Headline says everything you need to know.

Why do you think the racist witchhunt against Scalise was scrubbed so abruptly?

[bigbob]

Tells me this is yet another pointless exercise

[mn-bush-man]

It’s just a matter of whether he gets removed before or at the start of the next congress.

How in the world would he ever be removed before the start of the next congress? Honestly, there is no way that happens.

Bibi.

Pelosi is still running the show. Boehner is a no-show.
