Bonehead is house, Cruz is senate.

Get rid of the Turtle and replace him with Cruz.

I’m presuming that the turtle is dug in. Cruz is eligible for Speaker. Boehner demonstrates lack of leadership and is a weakling currently in a weak position. The House needs better leadership.

It's actually not required that the Speaker of the House be an elected member of the house, or hold any other federal office, so I suppose the House could elect Cruz Speaker. All other Speakers have been House members, however. It'll never happen, but it's amusing to speculate about other, non-House members, whose election as Speaker (and second in line for the presidency) might drive progressives crazy. Speaker DeMint? Palin? Walker?

I could very well be Speaker of the House... membership in the House is not a prerequisite for the position.

Nothing says the Speaker has to be a member of the house.
