Those of us here on FR were ahead of the game, and were well aware of this plot...for it was obvious.
And you can be sure he’s only stepping down now because the votes have been more than secured for another donor class-approved, big-government, amnesty-pimping RINO, i.e. McCarthy. We’re trading Fidel for Raul.

Take his orange hue and go back to being a battered husband.
It was no secret that Cantor wanted to be the next Speaker.

Mark Levin was going off tonight, saying McCarthy is no different than Cantor. Just 10 points lower on the IQ scale.
His base appears to be Silicon Valley and the cheap labor express.
It does not match the public evidence.
Pelosi - party lost control
Hastert - party lost control
Gingrich - party lost 5 seats
- unusual for the party not controlling the White House to lose seats in an off-year election
- Gingrich had staked the election on Clinton’s impeachment.
Foley - party lost control and he lost his seat
Wright - resigned the speakership in the face of an ethics investigation; resigned his seat after selection of Foley.
O’Neill - did not run for re-election
Albert - did not run for re-election
McCormack - did not run for re-election
Is there ANY instance of a speaker staying on during his successor of the same party’s term? I don’t think so.
Ohio’s primary in 2014 was prior to Virginia’s.
Time to instigate a war between Cantor and McCarthy.
