Title: Huffington and Puffington Post Opines Boehner may step down in 2014!!!
Post by: GOP Congress on September 05, 2013, 08:30:37 PM
Oh, if this were only true...

A dozen GOP sources have told two HuffPo reporters that Boehner will be stepping down as speaker. While Boehner is denying it, there are reasons for me to believe that it may be true.

Hopefully, there is some real action going on to get someone in that chair who represents the Tea Party.

I doubt it.  More likely it will be Eric Cantor.  He wants that job...bad.

What reasons do you have for believing that this scuttlebutt is true?

No way in hell would the East Coast Elite Class of the Repubs (the actual face and power of the party) allow a Tea Partier in the Speaker's chair.

Head feint to minimize support for a primary challenger.  Boner may be stupid but the people who own him aren't.
