Fund: Boehner ‘Will Keep His Job,’ Doesn’t Face ‘Plausible Alternative’

National Review Online columnist John Fund says that House speaker John Boehner will survive a challenge for his position because there’s simply no ”plausible alternative.”

“He’ll keep his job,” Fund told Fox News on Sunday. “I’m not saying the dissidents don’t have legitimate complaints . . . But John Boehner doesn’t have a plausible alternative that people are rallying around — for example, if a Paul Ryan were running or someone with stature.”

Texas representative Louie Gohmert has thrown his hat into the ring for tomorrow’s speaker’s race, but Fund isn’t buying it: “As much as I love Louie, Louie is not going to get enough votes to prevent Boehner from winning.”
