Breitbart:

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) acknowledged on Breitbart News Sunday that since no candidate has a clear pathway to becoming the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) could remain Speaker through January 2017.

 

Host of the show and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow asked the Congressman the chances of getting a bonafide conservative in the House as Speaker: “What are major hurdles in getting a guy like [sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)] into the Speakership?”

 

Brooks, a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, replied:

 

The major hurdle in respect to getting someone of the caliber of Jeff Sessions as a Majority Leader in the United States Senate or as a Speaker in the House of Representatives is we don’t have enough votes. The American people have not elected enough representatives and senators of like mind for someone like Jeff Sessions to be able to become Senate Majority Leader, where he now resides, or someone like Jeff Sessions to become Speaker of the House.

 

 

The sixty-one-year-old Brooks, a graduate of Duke University and the University of Alabama Law School, maintains that America has got to start electing more conservative and less establishment candidates in the Senate and in the House of Representatives to move the GOP leadership in a more conservative direction. Brooks informed:

 

Clearly, the majority of the House Republican Conference is liberal and/or establishment. They perceive conservatives and conservative values as an anathema because we tend to do things based on conservative principles, and they tend to do things based on other principles or the desire for money.

 

 

To gain a leadership position in the House, explained Brooks, “you have to be able to raise and pay millions of dollars to the right places in order to get the right committee chairmanships, or to get the right leadership positions.”

And here we see the reason no one with the brains God gave an animal cracker would want the damn job.

It sounds a bit like being Prime Minister. Kind of makes me glad we don't have a parliamentary system.
