Boehner to Stay On as Speaker Until Election

weekly standard ^ | october 8, 2015 | michael warren

[lowbridge]

After Leader McCarthy’s announcement, members of the House Republican Conference will not vote today for a new Speaker. As I have said previously, I will serve as Speaker until the House votes to elect a new Speaker. We will announce the date for this election at a later date, and I’m confident we will elect a new Speaker in the coming weeks. Our conference will work together to ensure we have the strongest team possible as we continue to focus on the American people’s priorities.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Will this nightmare ever end?

[stocksthatgoup]

Not until Boehner and McConnell give away the farm

[Fiddlstix]

Same Old Broken Record!

[ScottinVA]

So the Banana Republicans don’t get have the candidate they like? Postpone the election! How very Honduras of you.

[BigEdLB]

I, AGENT ORANGE DECLARE MYSELF, SPEAKER FOR LIFE

[Sgt_Schultze]

It’s time for the Tea Party Caucus to bring forth the bill declaring the Speaker’s chair vacant. There’s no reason why the election among the remaining candidates was postponed. Stop letting the Lame Duck drive the agenda.

Whistling past the graveyard, this is not over by a long shot...

[ScottinVA]

We will announce the date for this election at a later date, and I’m confident we will elect a new Speaker in the coming weeks.

Some bearded guy down in Cuba said similar words back in 1960.

[YOMO]

That was not just a simple statement, but a threat to stay until someone like him takes over.

"After Leader McCarthy’s announcement, members of the House Republican Conference will not vote today for a new Speaker"

What did I miss? What announcement?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Breitbart is reporting that McCarthy has dropped out of the race for speaker.

[Truth29]

So does this end up with Boehner staying and the attacks on him muted because no Republican can get to 218? What a stale Cheeto outcome.

[HarleyLady27]

We need to push to get Boehner OUT...NOW!!!

[mrsmith]

And McCarthy’s willing to stay on as Majority Leader... isn’t that wonderful?

“CQ Now @CQnow · 2h2 hours ago
“I think we need a fresh face, I’ll stay on as majority leader ... I feel good about the decision” McCarthy says”

Our conference will work together to ensure we have the strongest team possible as we continue to focus on the American people’s priorities

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Rotflmao!

[jmaroneps37]

Meadows should tell him to get out now or face the Resolution to Vacate the Speaker’s Chair and they’ll kick him out.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Obama needs Boehner for his October Surprise

[Qiviut]

Isn’t the Meadows resolution still hanging over Boehner’s head? He could also file a “privileged” motion seeking Boehner’s ouster that would go directly to the House floor.

If Boehner is still weeping into his cocktail and hanging on because his buddy McCarthy backed out & by golly he wants to control who his replacement will be, maybe some action should be taken sooner rather than later.
