The kids took over the house, and now all of a sudden not a one of them wants to cook dinner after they didn't get to go hold up McDonalds one more time.
Such inane analysis of the situation shows a complete lack of political awareness.
I don't know it for a fact but that IS the rumor circulating online and on television. Maybe it's a combination of that, his HUGE misstep with Benghazi, and not perfectly conservative.
Well, yeah. But mainly because the Republicans purport themselves to be the party of 'family values' and just generally hold themselves up as the ultimate moral authority.
oh come on: the party has been labeled as the party of family values, but does that mean every member is pure? Of course not. If we want to get into religion, we are all born sinners, even Republicans.
No, we do not know why he decided not to run for speaker and no, we do not know if he is having an affair. Social media can start a lot of rumors. As for seeing it on TV, I personally haven't seen anything about his affair, maybe you have.
The problem with your question is it can be said about both sides.
How can Obama run the country when he can't even fulfill easy to fulfill promises that he could fulfill all by himself?
For example, why can't Obama uphold his pledge to wait 5 days before signing a bill into law to promote public debate?
Why can't Obama uphold his pledge to pick lobbyists for key positions in the White House?
Etc...
Obama never wanted debate on anything. He wants his way. That was only something said to get elected. Has Obama ever showed a willingness to compromise? Never, though he has often said that he was.

Really ?? are you there- do you EVEN watch Cspan? DO you just listen to commentators on OAN or Faux to get your view points/ untrue-- ANOTHER FACT
For most of the last nearly 7 years now, Democrats have been "running the country," and look at the mess they have created, not only here at home, but also abroad. I need not detail the problems they have created; they are obvious.
We've had two elections in which the American people sent a strong message; that they are tired of business as usual, and the direction that the country is headed. These elections have resulted in a Republican take-over of both Houses of Congress, and along with that, a strong conservative contingent (negatively labeled, "tea partiers" or "right-wing nut jobs" — take your pick) who have committed to not only doing what they promised to do, but also to assert the Constitutional limits the framers placed on government, demand that people be held to account for their unconstitutional actions against citizens who wish to exercise their constitutional right to free speech (Lois Lerner and the IRS), repeal the unconstitutional so-called "Affordable" Care Act, and, to the extent possible, stop the train wreck of "progressivism" that is destroying the country.
Since those elections, and the power given Republicans by the American people, we have not seen any change, but only a furtherance of the policies that the people voted against. John Boehner, and his lap dogs, have been the primary reason for this.
Under pressure, Boehner resigns. McCarthy who is also no conservative, throws his Party under the bus with a false claim that the Benghazi investigation was all a ruse, and it's only purpose was to destroy Hillary's candidacy (she wasn't even a candidate when the investigation into Benghazi was begun).
The conservative wing heard from their constituency loudly and clearly that McCarthy was not acceptable. Therefore, McCarthy didn't have the votes needed, and he withdrew his name, as he should.
No one is entitled to a position of power merely on the basis of seniority. That's what Democrats do. That is the epitome of corruption in government.
Rather than being an example of Republicans not being able "run their own caucus," this is an example of the power of the people to hold their elected officials to account, and of elected officials that are willing to "buck the system" to do what their constituents elected them to do.
This is a sign that American government might be salvageable, and that the poison that is "progressivism" can actually be turned back, and constitutionalism restored.
McConnell is next.
Sigh...
There is no room in the Republican Party for the more radical Tea Party point of view.
McCarthy wasn't conservative enough? Do you even know his politics? No...? Of course you don't.
When are you people finally going to sack up and form your own party? The sooner the better because most of us in the middle are growing tired of how the Tea Party celebrates stupid...
I found it interesting that, yesterday, Newt Gingrich said that he is willing to be the Speaker of the House, citing George Washington as an inspiration:
yes the tea party now by new name Freedom Caucus is bringing this country down- go make your own party- do not think the house should be divided in these factions-- I understand committees- and opposing views but they work toward a goal--- these folks want to divide and conquer..
