If they axe Boner as speaker in the next congress they'll only end up picking someone worse.

be obnoxious in public and have an open love affair with their masters for only so long. If Boner's replacement is rabid enough, froths at the mouth enough, in short is Teapublican enough, the lot of them might wear out their welcom.

5. Just eat popcorn and let them sort it out. We can't influence what they do in their caucus anyway.

Yes, we have to live with the consequences.

When the car in the other lane is about to crash, protect yourself as best you can and hope.
Maybe in two years, a number of the insane Republicans, in the House, will get voted out.
One can hope.

Until then, don't expect too many bills signed into law this Congress either.

they will give the job to Ryan. Both of them would be like a brick wall, nothing will get done. Someone needs to file charges of "Sedition" against all three of them.

7. ONLY THE GOP CALLS "CHANGE" AND IT BEING THE "SAME"

They may bring a new face, but the mindset will be the SAME. These people are in lock step to the bitter end. When one face does not work they change for another face but they are all rotten to the core.

At least when they have their cat fight it shows the public how they fail society and themselves when it comes to basics like being HUMAN.
