Speaker Bonner's Days as Leader are Numbered

[rsmith6621]

I say he will be demoted within 90 day's.

[Warpy]

1. Either that or resign to spend more time with his family

Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker and Old Crow.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

2. Yeah it's a lonely feeling when you know

the hammer is getting ready to drop.

[spanone]

3. we may long for boehner when they get a teafucker in there as speaker

[Kahuna]

8. Yep.

:scared:

[Davis_X_Machina]

4. He can't deliver a majority of his own caucus. He's toast.

Now up comes Cantor, the smyler with the knife...

Every Robespierre his Danton.

[KittyWampus]

9. It gives me the chills when people reference the French Revolution.

[monmouth]

5. Eric Cantor has a smile right now, just planning ahead..Ugh...n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. Chew him up and spit him out too.

[Blasphemer]

11. It's like going from the ridiculous to the absurd.... nt

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Cantor set up this scenario to get the Speakership.

[Kahuna]

7. At this point he probably doesn't want it. God help us if that twit eric

cantor succeeds him. :scared:

[LiberalFighter]

10. He has to step down for that to happen.

The Republicans can't just decide they want to change their leader in the middle of the session.

It is not a wise decision as it then shows their party is in disarray.

[Davis_X_Machina]

13. Sure they can. Majority of majority caucus says 'Buh-bye'....

...he's gone. Unless Dems vote for him on the floor.

Speaker is a parliamentary office, not a Constitutional one, except that there has to be one.

Resignation's traditional (Tower, Gingrich, Livingstone) but not required

[LiberalFighter]

14. Vote for House Speaker at the beginning of each session.

They don't get to call for another election. Boehner would have to voluntarily resign or die.

[Davis_X_Machina]

15. If they asked Mrs. Peosi nicely..

...I'm sure she'd help a dissident faction pass a motion to suspend the rules...

[Ikonoklast]

12. Cantor will destroy the Republican majority in the House.
