John Boehner's here to stay, for now, with nothing to lose

[solar Max]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker John Boehner wants out. He really does.

But the Ohio House Republican is staying put, for now — and that could improve the chances for a debt limit increase by early next month to avoid a market-shattering government default. His continued presence also might help lawmakers reach a bipartisan budget deal to head off a government shutdown in December.

The tea party forces that pushed Boehner to plan his exit after nearly five years in the top job now have less leverage against a man with nothing to lose. Conservative hard-liners have caused further chaos by blocking the ascension of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

What are they going to do now, threaten to force a vote to immediately oust Boehner?

Nope.

"Sometimes the dog catches the car and doesn't know what to do," Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, a Boehner ally, said of the House Freedom Caucus and other hard-right lawmakers.

No fooling. I'm not sure whats worse, Boehner staying, or Ryan replacing him!
The buzz around other forums was that Boehner was staying on in order to facilitate some nefarious republican plan, then fall on his sword. Should be a law, if you say you're resigning...you actually HAVE to leave.
