Anyone care to make a bet the Orange man doesn't finish his term as speaker?

He resigns his speakership and his seat in the House due to a financial and/or sexual scandal, like Newt did when he resigned due his own sexual scandal.

More likely, something in connection with alcohol abuse.

or drugs or alcohol? Or is it that he's already a bastard so there's probably something terrible he's doing? I'm sympathetic to the former - I don't know why he ran for it again (except that the party realizes there's no glory in that position right now, so rather than put a Ryan or Cantor up there to be damaged, leave Boener in there as he's already tainted).
