Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) , one of the 28 Republicans who publicly supports replacing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner with a Republican alternative, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Boehner does not have enough support within the Republican conference to win re-election with just Republican votes.
Therefore, Mulvaney said, should there be a vote on a privileged resolution on a motion to vacate the chair of the House of Representatives — a fancy term for a vote to remove Boehner from the speakership — the only way Boehner can keep his job is if Democrats vote for him to bail him out.
“The math depends on the Democrats, doesn’t it?.. I think if all the Democrats were to vote against John, he’d lose the Speakership, but I don’t think anyone knows where the Democrats stand.”
...
Boehner’s team is certainly terrified
...
If Boehner needs Democrat votes to win re-election, Mulvaney said that would put Republicans in Congress in an unprecedented situation.
“Everybody is scratching their heads about that one,” Mulvaney said. “Do you want a leader of your party who is in that position because of support from the other party? It’s not a question I think we’ve dealt with before. It certainly would be cause for some internal discussion and I don’t honestly know if John would even want to put us in that position.”
Mulvaney said he also believes that if and when such a situation arises, that Boehner would consider resigning from the speakership.
...
Mulvaney noted that he has a hard time answering his constituents back in South Carolina what the difference is between McConnell’s GOP Senate and the Senate when it was run by now Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) under Democratic control.

The Dems would be well-advised to keep this loser around, antagonizing US conservatives.
The Dems will be losing a real ally -— such a great loss for the American people.
ACTII.

JOHN BOEHNER: The Very Best DemocRAT Speaker Ever!
IF Boehner had an honest bone in his body he would step down.
BUT! Not Boner!
He's a crooked Crybaby Drunk Thief!
Go To Hell Boehner!
They’ll do it it, too, to show compassion. Best friend the Dems ever had with an R after his name.
Bottom line: People are angry. Really angry. Left or Right, those that are waking up are taking aim.
Is this the best they can do for speaker. The “other side” of the isle must have something on most every Republican congressman to get the leadership we have had. Flagship America is sinking fast.
Lisa Murcowsky(AK,R) was elected by DEMOCRATS..
Another republican won the primary.. Lisa WON.. as Senator..
The democrats didn’t vote for the dmeocrat running for Senator they voted for LISA...
It’s not new.. AK-Republicans STILL havn’t figured it out YET!..
unless many are complicit.. Republicans didnt vote for her except for the RInOS..
Boner would be more than happy to share the Speakership with Nazi (No oil for YOU!) Pelosi.
Looks like an old Foster Grant magazine ad.
If and when a vote to vacate the chair happens.
And RATs vote to keep Bonehead in Power.
Trump will jump 15-20 points overnight.
I’m worried Bohner cuts a deal - he tells the Dems, “you vote for me, and next year after the election we bring up the Amnesty Bill”
DO IT, either replace him or make the democrats save him. My Congressman is an @$$%*!#, just got elected in a special election and has his nose up Boehners @$$.
My initial thought was, they should vote for Pelosi since Boehner will be beholden to her, and it would create a conflict between the houses. But after consideration, McConnell and Pelosi would probably work well together.
“Do you want a leader of your party who is in that position because of support from the other party? “
If he keeps his speakership due to Piglosi and her ilk, INHO the District of Corruption needs to be ...........
Exactly the same scenario is happening over and over in the Texas state house with speaker Joe Straus. He is Texas’ John Boehner.
Yes, that was my moment of truth regarding the republican party. I changed my registration from repub to independant and have never looked back. The AK republican party is emblematic of what is corrupt in the two party system. I will do everything I can possibly do to defeat queen lisa next election. It will be interesting to see what Dan Sullivan does. Unfortunately she will be backed by the unholy triumvirate of union, democrat and native alliances.
