RE :”A “symbolic vote” vs. a challenge for the speakership?
Are you 20 years old?
What gives you the idea that no one wants to be Speaker? A speaker can rival the President in power if the Speaker is strong and the President weak.”

I have already explained this in detail and you ignore that.

Pelosi wants to be Speaker but no one wants to be GOP Speaker. That is why I posted those challenges to house members via freepers to challenge Bohner as speaker rather than casy symbolic votes for mickey Mouse etc.

Note that my challenges to REALLY challenge him were all prior to Bohners re-selection.

You dont see why no-one wants Bohners job? Seriously?

To get blamed for shutting down the government, defaulting on the debt, anti-women policies, anti-immigrant and being called a traitor by some in his own party?

No one was willing to step up for that job. Its a Kabuki dance.

You are mistaking no one wanting to be Boehner-the-idiot with no one wanting his job.

lol

Seriously, if Boehner caught on fire and burned to a crisp in a tanning booth tomorrow there would be a mad scramble to take his place.

I think you underestimate the all-consuming lust for power in D.C.

I think you are correct in your very low estimation of most of the players there.

A speaker, like a president, has to be a leader. The Republican party hasn't seen a real one since Reagan.
