RE :” Bohners got the job no-one else in congress wants. He gets called out publicly personally for shutting down the government, defaulting on the debt, treating ‘hispanics’ like criminals.....Bohner is the goat. THAT is why he keeps that job.
....
BS. It is a power trip for Boehner. 2nd in line for the Presidency. “

not BS. Not one house member wants his job, that is why he is still there. He is the goat.

And he gets humiliated as Dems like Pelosi say she feels sorry for him.

I know the Koolaid Club doesn't like that. They want you think that House members would line up for that job.,

You live in a fantasy world. Eric Cantor desperately wants to be Speaker. And so do many of the so-called Rep House leadership. There are many pretenders to the throne. How do you come up with these theories?

Boehner survived an effort to oust him in January. Twelve Republican lawmakers defected from the speaker’s camp, and with the GOP’s narrow majority, that provided for “a very tense final few minutes of the vote,” according to The Washington Post. He surpassed the 214 votes required for victory by six members.

House majority leader Eric Cantor is certainly a – maybe the – leading contender. During that January vote, three conservatives backed him over Boehner. But most believe he would not challenge Boehner, should the speaker decide to stay on. Another possible contender is Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) of Texas, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, according to The Huffington Post.
