The Nightmare Scenario That John Boehner Fears The Most
Huffpost ^ | 10/7/20155 | Jason Linkins

Posted on 10/08/2015 5:24:49 AM PDT by HomerBohn

To officially retire, he'll need his House GOP colleagues to produce something they're not known for -- a quick and orderly decision.

As Scott Wong of The Hill reported Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner experienced a fitful night's sleep last week, during which time the Ohio Republican had a nightmare about a "hand" that "came reaching, pulling," and, ultimately preventing his dream-self from making a needed escape. "I was trying to get out and I couldn't get out," Boehner related.

A bad dream, eh? Ah, well, probably just one of those examples of sleep knitting up our raveled sleeve of care by subconsciously processing roughly remembered anxieties in order to purge them. Nothing to worry about. Unless, of course, it was a harrowing and prophetic vision of an inescapable future!

And, as Wong reports, maybe it is: "Boehner’s nightmare could become reality if House Republicans fail to rally around their nominee for Speaker in a floor vote set for Oct. 29."

My, oh my. It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that Boehner, still feeling buoyant from Pope Francis' visit to Congress, made the decision that his moment had come: Time to retire and pass the responsibility for supervising the House Republicans' frequently fractious caucus into another member's hands.

This crybaby's nightmare is nothing like the nightmare in the White Hut that he and the fool from Kentucky failed to rein in.

Putting the 'moderate' (stands for nothing) from California in his place accomplishes absolutely nothing except make the Muslim president happy.

Boehner’s real nightmare is President Ted Cruz.

Boehner is afraid of Obola’s media criticism.

If a Speaker were to die in Office, is there a line of succession?

It would be the same as we’re going through now....the House elects a new speaker.

Who believes this BS spin he quit.

He was pushed out.
I suspect his drinking was out if control.
K street saw he was lost control of the bought off herd.
Mccarthy was brought in to restore order .
K street and Zuckerberg want this TPP and amnesty ram down our throats . They know Mccarthy is a nasty piece of work who hates Conservatives and the base and a Globalist wanna be.

HomerBohn :" ..a nightmare about a "hand" that "came reaching, pulling," and, ultimately preventing his dream-self from making a needed escape.
"I was trying to get out and I couldn't get out," Boehner related. "

"The Hand" was a spiritual hand of accountability .
The proximity of meeting Pope Francis and this dream/nightmare is undeniable.
There will be accontability , in this life ,.. or the next, for what he has done !

Yes, whomever gathers 218 votes becomes Speaker. Could be you, could be me, could be anyone.

Just when I thought I was out they keep drawing me back in again.

So what are they saying? That Boehner is going to rescind his resignation unless he is assured that McCarthy is going to replace him?

“Boehner’s real nightmare is President Ted Cruz.”

Did you see, unlike Boehner, what a real bonafide leader acts like?
