“I think 20 or so Republicans will look good (some of them moles doing it for show) and not support Boehner, but he will win anyway.”
Boehner will win with Rat votes. Why wouldn’t they vote for a house speaker that supports rat policies.
And then the Bonehead will say "See, I can work across the aisle, with all those people you threw out of office last time!!"
That is the unfortunate reality. But we have to do this even if it doesn't work. Put them on the record.
