To officially retire, he'll need his House GOP colleagues to produce something they're not known for -- a quick and orderly decision.
As Scott Wong of The Hill reported Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner experienced a fitful night's sleep last week, during which time the Ohio Republican had a nightmare about a "hand" that "came reaching, pulling," and, ultimately preventing his dream-self from making a needed escape. "I was trying to get out and I couldn't get out," Boehner related.
A bad dream, eh? Ah, well, probably just one of those examples of sleep knitting up our raveled sleeve of care by subconsciously processing roughly remembered anxieties in order to purge them. Nothing to worry about. Unless, of course, it was a harrowing and prophetic vision of an inescapable future!
And, as Wong reports, maybe it is: "Boehners nightmare could become reality if House Republicans fail to rally around their nominee for Speaker in a floor vote set for Oct. 29."
My, oh my. It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that Boehner, still feeling buoyant from Pope Francis' visit to Congress, made the decision that his moment had come: Time to retire and pass the responsibility for supervising the House Republicans' frequently fractious caucus into another member's hands.

So what are they saying? That Boehner is going to rescind his resignation unless he is assured that McCarthy is going to replace him?
That goes for both of them.
“Boehners real nightmare is President Ted Cruz.”
Did you see, unlike Boehner, what a real bonafide leader acts like?
