Conservatives roar as Rubio tells a crowd of Boehner's demise

By KATIE GLUECK and DANIEL STRAUSS 09/25/15 10:25 AM EDT Updated 09/25/15 12:50 PM EDT

Conservatives at the Values Voter Summit cheered the coming end of House Speaker John Boehner’s reign, taking credit for the downfall of a man reviled by the right as too liberal to lead.

"Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House. Y'all come to town, and somehow that changes!" shouted Sen. Ted Cruz, one of the most far-right Republicans in Congress and a regular irritant to leadership. “My only request is, can you come more often?"

Cruz wasn’t the only one winning applause by heralding Boehner’s exit. Marco Rubio cut into his prepared remarks to break the news of Boehner’s plan to resign, and the crowd roared.

You really think these radical teahaddists are going to let any kind of moderate republican(oxymoron) take the Speakers chair?

No way.

1. Of course they roared, Boehner did not VICIOUSLY hate Latinos and Blacks, he only sort of

hated them or Gays, and they want someone like them who sufficiently hates all the right groups.

The American Taliban terrorist organization, aka Teaparty, has some real death and destruction in store for non white Americans and now male Americans and non fake Christian Americans.

3. They'll have to if they want to get anything done. Like him or not, Agent Orange made compromises

necessary to govern. If they go with a hardliner, all they can do is shutdown the gov't. They don't have the votes in the senate to do anything as evidenced by the 50+ Obamacare votes and the recent PP vote.

And Obama's called their bluff on shutdowns several times already.

4. They will now proceed to eat each other alive

right out in public. Boehner is leaving a power vacuum and they all think they're the only ones who can fill it. The carnage is likely to be extreme. All the squabbling that Boehner has managed to keep under the surface will explode outward for all to see.

What effect that will have on the electorate, if any, is something we'll have to wait to see.

5. They will install a Koch puppet

Then teahaddists will shutdown the government over planned parenthood, the Iran deal, immigration, just off the top of my head.

There's blood in the water and the reich wing is in a frenzy. The teahaddists night of the long knifes is here.
