Following yesterday's surprise resignation by the speaker of the house Mr. John Boehner , one can not but wonder at the turn of events , I for one , do not take Mr. Boehner's resignation lightly , as I do not believe that it's a simple matter of finding another speaker to satisfy the right wing of the party and the matter would be resolved .
Let me explain myself ; I believe the real divide within the republican party , or call it coalition , indicate that the real numbers of Boehners like are far greater than a Mr. Boehner himself or a swift replacement . A quick educated estimate might put the actual numbers of dissatisfied members at 60 to 65 % , and possibly higher .
Many are refusing the total take over , of tactics , strategies and ideologies , by the ultra right conservative members . They are the moderates of the party , the bourgeois and intellectuals of the party , and many of the wealthier established old guard who are having some serious second thoughts about the institution's future headings .
Are Sarah Palings , Ted Cruises or the Koch brothers likes or even the Donald Trumps , their constituencies of ultra conservatives , religious minded Tea partyers and similar dysfunctional minorities mostly from the old rural South and the Midwest , are these all going to govern and steer the party , the country and the entirety of American citizenship .
I believe Mr. Boehner's resignation could open the doors for more than one option , whereby a comfortable majority within the party might decide to regain control and leadership of the party , and work to lessen the direct influence of the too far to the right conservative partners . It might cost them a bit in upcoming elections , but honestly even the 2016 presidential election is already half lost anyways with the present candidates of the party versus any of the other major two democratic candidates , and shutting down the government again and again is not helpful to the cause either .
So the thinking goes like this ; what are few years of temporary electoral weaker success , and that's assuming the totality of the right voters , under all its different aspects and forms , will defect to some type of independent isolation . The total partnership between the two sides didn't play well , and didn't pay much to the traditional core of the party , on the contrary it is taking them surely and steadily to an undesirable extreme right adventurous and unpopular attitude .
Republicans in their majority , could see themselves in a few short years , being the middle ground between the ultra conservative right and the more leaning to the liberal left and to social justice Democrats . By a steady recapture of the party's leadership , management and correct steering . Call it a corrective move , a party internal coup or a recovering of positions , it all lead to the same .
Are these issues being discussed at all ?? as real possibilities , of regaining the power by its original people and leaders , or am I , just a very creative and fertile imaginative non Republican ??.
As always my gratitude for listening and helping to spread the word .
Ha! Creative and fertile... :) I'm not sure if 'dysfunctional minorities' is the appropriate description of Republican groups, albeit that can occasionally be accurate. An interesting question to ask is why did he resign, why so abruptly? It appears that he thinks he was unfit to bridge and unify these various ''dysfunctional minorities," but who is? You allude to this as well and I agree.
