Either that or they're going to go with a long term member who isn't totally unacceptable to either side and who will warm the chair until after the 2016 elections. Then it'll depend on whether the conservatives or the establishment does better at the polls.
Well, the most recently GOP convention blessed nominee for President of the Senate so far continues to decline the Speakership of the House. They could offer the title to the previous GOP convention blessed nominee for President of the Senate. Pretty much all of them are on the record supporting her at the time and she does have experience working with out of control legislators, unlike the last GOP convention blessed Presidential nominee. She values having a servant’s heart so would likely be willing to serve out the term. She’s proven she can multi-task her only current responsibilities, being ‘Mom,’ so is available right away. No ‘Perky’ exploded heads would be missed.
