"As long as Republicans vote for an adult American citizen for Speaker, no Democrat can win. Only if 59 Republicans voted Present would there be a chance for a Democrat to win."
Louie explains that there is no way for Pelosi to get elected unless the Republicans vote 'PRESENT' (or directly for Pelosi). The only reason for RINOs to vote present would be out of spite and it takes 59 RINOs to do it.

Let’s hope he’s serious and is willing to fight like Hell for it, and can bring some serious heat on the Spineless Weeper.

The #29 assumes that no Democrats will vote for Boehner as speaker.
So if Boehner is denied the initial majority in the first vote, who is he more likely to make a deal with, (1) The group of conservatives in the House trying to oust him and his leadership or (2) Pelosi and the Dems. Ask yourself this, as Boehner ever used/required Dem support to get past conservatives in the past? Well there’s your answer.
Back door deal to increase Dem power on committees and blacklist conservatives leading the fight to oust him. That is Boehner’s plan it would appear.

Louis Gohmert was my first choice for Speaker! I had no idea he was considering stepping forward. I’m more than skeptical that we’ll manage to rid ourselves of Boehner, but it’s worth fighting for. I’m calling my stupid Congressman tomorrow.

Gohmert is good. He fills in for Hannity on the radio, and knows how to talk.

surly the ruling elite and the DC establishment will first rely on the media to trash anyone whom they fear might disrupt their power. If that doesn’t do it they always have their surreptitious hit squads like the CIA, the FBI and organized crime aka the mob.
To: FR_addict
better late than never. This is what I have been waiting for! Until there is a viable alternative that is running we will be stuck with Boehner. Is it possible at this late date to line up enough support? dunno

The leadership vote should separate the men from the boys, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
To: FR_addict
They would do it too, if they think Louie has any chance of winning. The RINOs would rather have Peelousy as Speaker again than have Gohmert.

There is false information being floated that any Republican candidates in addition to the current Speaker will split the vote and give the Speaker's gavel to Congresswoman Pelosi. This is nothing but a scare tactic to keep the current regime in power.
How can this even be an issue? Surely the Republican Congress critters know and understand this? So, whassup? Get on with the frickin' vote and get John Boehner out of that Speaker's Chair. Twitter website is going crazy with excitement over the prospect of dumping Boehner. I think, with Gohmert entering the race, that this is very doable.
