Things are happening that they didn't plan on their big chessboard, and they don't know what to do!
I still think that someone has some really nasty dirt on Bonehead. And they wanted him out.
Leadership in the GOP is going to remain unsettled until the Leadership’s agenda matches up to the opinions of a majority of voters in the GOP, and the American people. Unfortunately for the GOPe, there are just too many informed voters that realize that the GOP is now lead by a bunch of lying, corrupt cronies. The next one up may be McCarthy, but he may not last as long as an Italian govt if he doesn’t change the agenda.
Jeffery & Charles, Shut up!
It does not happen often enough. The concentration of power is the problem.
[[No one knows what comes next]]
Sure we do- they will hire John Boener light by hiring the California rino to take his place- and everything will be just the same as it’s always been
I read the entire article.
A complete waste of time.
Kevin McCarthy will be the next Speaker.
His district is quite heavily Mexican-American.
Figure it out.
“THIS is why they’re scared. Because those in Washington move in a pre-determined, outcome-known, carefully-choreographed world. “
Sort of like organized crime.
A: Another RINO scalp for our wall, if they don’t understand yet.
Actually the Washington Post is next - we want their editor to resign... (just kidding - thought I’d pull their chain)
Really? What about Newt Gingrich in 1977?
In the summer of 1997 several House Republicans attempted to replace him as Speaker, claiming Gingrich's public image was a liability. The attempted "coup" began July 9 with a meeting of Republican conference chairman John Boehner of Ohio and Republican leadership chairman Bill Paxon of New York. According to their plan, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, Boehner and Paxon were to present Gingrich with an ultimatum: resign, or be voted out. However, Armey balked at the proposal to make Paxon the new Speaker, and told his chief of staff to warn Gingrich. On July 11, Gingrich met with senior Republican leadership to assess the situation. He explained that under no circumstance would he step down. If he was voted out, there would be a new election for Speaker. This would allow for the possibility that Democrats, along with dissenting Republicans, would vote in Democrat Dick Gephardt as Speaker. On July 16, Paxon offered to resign his post, feeling that he had not handled the situation correctly, as the only member of the leadership who had been appointed to his position—by Gingrich—instead of elected.
And who was it that led the aborted challenge against Gingrich?

Newt was challenged for Speakership by Bob Livingston between sessions in 1998.
The soon-to-be-former Speaker can open a Speakeasy near Capitol Hill and do what he really excels in doing...
