Boehner will resign as Speaker before Jan 1. You heard it here first.

[yellowcanine]

The Orange Man is finished.

1. Nah, he's got gavel-envy. He won't give it up voluntarily. /nt

[DURHAM D]

2. According to several folks on MSNBC tonight his position has never

been more solid.

[Pab Sungenis]

3. If there were a leadership fight and it made it to the floor

the Democrats would back him up and keep him in the Speaker's chair.

You never stop your enemy from shooting himself.

[bemildred]

6. Nah, the Dems should vote to make Cruz Speaker. nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. I think he'll retire

He won't run for reelection in 2014.

[Jamaal510]

5. Oh, no. Please don't go.

If he resigns, there's no telling what other extremist nut the GOP will replace him with. Boehner is literally the lesser of many evils right now.

[davidpdx]

7. I disagree

He's going to remain speaker throughout the remaining 14 1/2 months left until Jan 3rd 2014. I believe he has stated he won't run for speaker again.

[RDANGELO]

8. The non tea partiers will keep him in.

They won't want a tea partier as speaker.

[AlinPA]

9. As we have seen lately, teabaggers have a lot of power . They could get one of their own in.

[Iggo]

10. I'm still waiting for him to resign the last three times.

[Sunlei]

11. doubt Boehner will quit. Rs need some turd to stand there and do nothing. He's good at that 'job'

[onenote]

12. a lot of things I'm told I'm hearing first here

don't ever happen.
