The No. 2 House Republican and the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means committee are putting the hex on any conservative coup to topple House Speaker John Boehner – and calling for an end to palace-like "intrigue" and GOP infighting.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Ways and Means head Paul Ryan – "the only two viable potential replacements" for the embattled Ohio Republican, now in his third term as House Speaker, Politico reports – say they'll oppose any effort to oust him.

The No. 2 House Republican and the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means committee are putting the hex on any conservative coup to topple House Speaker John Boehner – and calling for an end to palace-like "intrigue" and GOP infighting.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Ways and Means head Paul Ryan – "the only two viable potential replacements" for the embattled Ohio Republican, now in his third term as House Speaker, Politico reports – say they'll oppose any effort to oust him. Special: Could this alarming video cost the Democrats the White House in 2016? "I support John Boehner as speaker," McCarthy said in a statement, Politico reports. "We should be spending all of our time and energy confronting this administration’s disastrous policies. The intrigue and fighting amongst ourselves only makes it harder to get that done. It ought to stop immediately.”

Fits these two to a tee.
Birds of a feather, stick together.
Ryan’s probably done Nationally after this:
“It’s declassified and made public once it’s agreed to,” Ryan said of Obamatrade in Rules Committee testimony on Wednesday during questioning from Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX)
McCarthy (party whip) is just a smaller Boehner , same thought on all issues , it would be replacing Boehner with another littler Boehner.
Ryan supports Boehner, as long as he holds his position in the Party power structure.
The fact that Obamatrade rules won't be released until after passage tells me that he is willingly up to his ears in this collusion
to subvert the will of the people, and of an informed Congress.
“Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
I’ve heard some pretty interesting stories today regarding the Boehner coup. Stay tuned for those.”
If he could hold the sequester limits he could stay IMO, but he can’t so it makes no difference.
We’ll just have to deal with the resulting disarray in the caucus, which Boehner’s backers are to blame for.
And here it is:

‘Would-Be Boehner Successors Jockeying to Line Up Support’
Why are all the GOP leaders excluding Southerners?
It is why we lose, and do not have a conservative say so.
Time to try something different. Let’s make Jeff Sessions in charge of Senate and Louie Gohmert Speaker.
“We’ll just have to deal with the resulting disarray in the caucus, which Boehner’s backers are to blame for.”
And we need to have a complete outing of “Boner’s Backers!” Their constituents need to be made completely aware of how these particular congressmen (women) have sold them out to the GOPe. The only hope for the Republican Party is a complete housecleaning. The rotten apples are spoiling the barrel.
OUT!!! ALL of them should be defeated.....except Louie Gohmert and a handful of others.
AMEN,Sister. Louie Gohmert should be classified as a conservative treasure. He is always on point when he speaks and does not duck and dodge the tough ones.
If conservatives succeed, does the author really believe they’d replace him with his henchman?
Boehner MUST GO!
Scalise = Boehner's "Luca Brasi."
Get rid of all three of them.
