I’m sure this was on his mind. He really is heading for a breakdown or something. If he aligned with the Democrats to stay it would have been a disaster.

I think the Speaker should be voted on by the Republican public! WE should be the ones that pick our leader!

He'll probably recommend Nancy as his successor, to show bipartiship and because he loves her.

Well, imo, McCarthy is a bit better, but not much. He can speak pretty persuasively when he wants to. Maybe he’ll get the message that the GOP needs to step up to the table.

If McCarthy replaces him, there will be no change.

The ridicule from his crying yesterday at the Pope’s speech probably was the last straw.

That was quite disturbing.

Didn’t Breitbart call this first?
They may have but Mark Meadows filed a motion to vacate the Chair not Beitbart.

I bet it’s a ploy to get the GOP voter base to ‘trust them again’. Don’t fall for it.

Boehner got tired of carrying the Kenyan’s water which is basically all the GOP does these days. TPP will be a bloodbath.
