That's why he's delaying it.
It’s , apocalyptic. I didn’t expect him to “go quietly” but this is Armaggedon.
The House Freedom Caucus has called for taking weeks to elect new Leadership. That will stunt his plans somewhat as Chairmen won’t want to violently alienate conservatives. The Rules Committee will be where Boehner will have to go to get Dem-friendly rules and everyone there must be on notice that cooperating in this will mean their removal.
But meanwhile the Dem/RINOs can accomplish a lot with a House in disarray anyway.
Boehner’s comments were the very worst I could imagine.
