He sure was “front and center” last night on every program he could get on including this morning.
It would not surprise me a bit. I think the guy would be refreshing and he can think on his feet and has no problem calling out Democrats.
He would be a lot better than a career politician who said his party is now listening. Boehner, do you mean you were not listening before.
I also thought that whole crying thing was not about the country but himself. Thinking about being 3rd in line to the Presidency.

I prefer Cantor over Boehner. I’m tired of the GOP “it’s my turn” leadership hierarchy.

Well, it was between him and Pence. I'm not sure who I like better. Both are good men and would shake it up I believe.

Anybody but Boehner. His speech was ridiculous. He acted like this was the first time he was going to be in charge. He was in charge a short four years ago and was horrible. We can do better. It makes me wonder why FREEPERS support him when we have better. Why not elect Michelle Bachmann to the position? This would overshadow Nancy's nonsense about being the best speaker in history. Michelle would be phenomenal.
To: justlurking
No news here. This has been in the works for months.
Boehner is House Speaker.
Cantor is Majority Leader.
McCarthy is Majority Whip.

He said this morning on Fox that he wasn’t a candidate for the position and that he’d support Boehner, but then about 15 seconds later he said to stay tuned and Gretchen completely missed it.
To: justlurking
Hasn’t this been the plan all along? Boehner, SOH with Cantor MajL?
