Boner is well past his “best by” date.
Boehner had his chance. He’s great at some things. But being a conservative leader is not one of them.

Uh, the GOPe is already toast, they just don't know it yet.
I can just see him sniveling now... the pantywaist politician wannabe.
Trey Gowdy
Louie Gohmert
Allen West
Do it, GOP.
do it.
I think that I read recently - probably here on FR - that the Speaker of the House does not need to be and elected representative...if that is true, then draft Newt Gingrich. He’s got baggage, but I don’t think obama will buffalo him too much.
If I’m wrong on the requirements, someone please correct me
“The plan” begins with a secret ballot. Not going to happen unless 80% majority agrees.
US Constitution Article 1 section 5:
Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.
” but until now there hasn’t been a clear path forward.”
To be a clear path forward you need a candidate to replace him. Last I heard there isn’t one.
