So is this his plan to keep his job? He knew he was going to be shown the door so now he hijacks the process and basically declares himself leader until otherwise? Can he do this?

He may be smarter than I thought. There may never be the requisite numbers behind any candidate. Boehner could be there for a while. I could see the RINOs and “conservatives” having enough power to block each others candidates. Where would a compromise candidate come from.

Well, but that man a drink!

Getting common sense non corrupt leadership will certainly take persistence patience and a high tolerance for obnoxiousness
But it will happen.

Hell, John, we could have had a new Speaker earlier today.
Just not Kevin McCarthy. There were other names in the running, you know.

I've been listening to Fox all day and their talking heads claim the obstructionists are the conservative caucus.
I think this move by boner is equally plausible as the RINOe end game. It is equally plausible that the RINOes want to maintain the status quo and beat the conservative caucus by procedure instead of votes.

Everybody who cares about this country should buy a bottle of Scotch and mail it to Boner.

If a resolution to vacate the chair shows the crier the door, what is the mechanism in the Senate that could result in a no confidence vote for Mr. McConnell? And is any Senator moving towards that end?

Where would a compromise candidate come fromNancy Pelosi or Steny Hoyer need 30 Republican votes to become the next Speaker.
I don't think that represents a serious obstacle.

leave to pubs to not have the discipline nor the statesmanship to back one candidate to rid themselves of an onerous one.
