Quote
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) one of the 28 Republicans who publicly supports replacing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) with a Republican alternative, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Boehner does not have enough support within the Republican conference to win re-election with just Republican votes.

Therefore, Mulvaney said, should there be a vote on a privileged resolution on a motion to vacate the chair of the House of Representatives—a fancy term for a vote to remove Boehner from the speakership—the only way Boehner can keep his job is if Democrats vote for him to bail him out.

"The math depends on the Democrats, doesn't it?" Mulvaney told Breitbart News in a phone interview on Tuesday afternoon. "I think if all the Democrats were to vote against John, he'd lose the Speakership, but I don't think anyone knows where the Democrats stand."

Technically, the magic number for Boehner to lose re-election without a Democrat infusion or some kind of shenanigans where members don't show up to vote or something akin to that is 29 Republicans voting against him. There are 28 Republicans publicly opposed to Boehner's re-election, but many more privately who have confirmed that they can't vote for Boehner to Mulvaney and others. Many more are teetering on the edge of becoming public, and Boehner's team is certainly terrified, as Politico's Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan detailed on Tuesday morning.

My rep, Mark Meadows, is one of the leaders to oust Boehner. He has the full con support of his constituents in this effort. Will the democrats bail him out? If so, they know they will own him.

The Democrats will probably bail him out.

Boehner, a `rat's best friend.

Boo, can you fast forward to your your young lady doing this in this thirty years? On second thought - never mind. 

I think the rising anti-Boehner movement in the House is spurred by the public's unequivocal rejection of Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and any other inside RINO. 

When they see the rising populist support for Trump, they know they must make radical changes.  RINOs are officially out of favor with the Republican constituents.  Up until now the GOP Reps were afraid of Boehner.  Now they no longer need to fear him.  They have the public behind them!

That is a TEA success story for sure!!!

Boo, would you please put some clothes on that girl..... pls.

If the Demorats bail him out - or rather attempt to bail him out - Boner will be dead. After all solid Demorat support will simply prove what everyone's been saying about him.

My congressman, Daniel Webster was selected to try to replace Bonehead, he failed and Bonehead took away all his committee appointments.  This cannot happen soon enough and I hope and PRAY it is true.  McConnell needs to go as well...quickly!

I'd love to see Boehner ousted but I seriously doubt it'll happen. I don't even think this will come down to the Dems, when push comes to shove I don't believe the GOP will remove him.

Then why is he courting the enemy Marxists to save his worthless ass?

He thinks it makes him look good. He's been trying for awhile now to repaint himself as a bi-partisan guy who can reach across the aisle.

Yeah, the epitome of capitulating RINO. The entire GOPe has been doing that for decades, that's nothing new.
No, he's scared shitless that he's about to be tossed out on his Marxist appealing ass, and he's calling on his allies, our enemies, to throw him a life preserver.

Thing is, they'll throw him under the bus, he's outlived his usefulness now that he's been outed as one of them.

Can you support this position, given the GOP having so many backstabbers?

The first point I'll make in support of my position is that the article in the OP engages in some speculation as to how many votes there may be in favor of removal but the only thing it states as a fact is that the GOP is currently one vote short of removal.

I don't think he has outlived his usefulness to the Dems. They are the minority yet have an opposition speaker in their back pocket. Why would the Dems want him gone?

But, I don't think the Dems will need to save him, I think the RNC will.
