Speaker John Boehner is considering delaying the internal election for House majority leader and majority whip, leaving only the party vote for speaker to be decided on Thursday, according to multiple Republican sources with direct knowledge of the deliberations.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) is circulating a letter requesting a delay in the elections for the No. 2 and No. 3 slots in leadership. There is also widespread interest in considering a change in internal party rules that would force candidates to resign chairmanships and leadership slots to run for new office.  There is serious unrest in the House Republican Conference, and delaying the elections might give more time for the mood to settle, according to sources involved in the planning.

When bo declares himself POTUS for life, Boener can become Speaker for life.
Is this good or bad for conservatives? Are McCarthy and Ellmers going to tie the knot?
Charlie McCarthy really screwed up. He said the Benghazi Committee was political. Jason Chaffetz announced today . He would be fine. He is a fighter. We do not want Boehner butt boys.
If Boehner is considering it then it must be bad.
Having to resign positions might put the nail in the coffin on some people running.
This is interesting
Didn’t Chaffetz take away Mark Meadows’ committee assignments because Meadows went against the current leadership?
Is that right? I didn’t know that. Chaffetz is a chairman of a committee but I am not sure which one but I thought he was a good conservative.
He kick Meadows off of a subcommittee. I can’t remember which and he reinstated him after the good guys objected.
The problem in that just like the presidential race is that multiple candidates split the votes so the insiders win.
Chaffetz is multiplying the candidate field and said he would support McCarthy if he won......
The delay is so that they can control and manage one leadership race at a time so the Establishment wins all of them.
Rick Santorum says he’s different from the guy who supported Arlen Specter for President 20 years ago.....
I don’t buy that either along with the Chaffetz spin.
I think 200 plus Republicans are either repudiating or faking conservatism in the House.
A similar thought ran across my mind - that this is a precursor to an 0bama attempt to be King of the USA.
if obama and biden fade away, McMcarthy will be president
that will happen before obama is king
Interesting. Something not going according to plan.
I know. I was saying it tongue and cheek, so to speak.
Some GOP-E’ers in the House and Senate are openly hostile to Conservatives.
