Boehner Will Resign - Do Not Trust Establishment Republicans

___With Rep Meadows resolution to "vacate the chair," discussion has continued about dethroning John Boehner. He has now announced that he will step down (and out) as Speaker on 30 October. Do not trust Boehner or establishment Republicans. The timing (5 days until the end of the FY) is suspect as is waiting until one month into FY16. The vacate the chair movement is evidently gaining steam and forcing the issue.

___The media is giving the knee-jerk analysis: Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) is the most likely replacement. He is yet another establishment Republican with a 63% Heritage Action score. The Speaker of the House is next in line after the Vice President to become President. Since the Speaker does not have to be a member of the House of Representatives, why not select one of the Republican Presidential candidates with political experience. Those who care have seen each candidate in the televised debates and YouTube videos and know them better than an establishment Republican in the House. Pressure should be put on John Boehner to resign NOW while the writing is on the wall!

___My personal choices would be Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker.
