What is John Boehner Scared Of?

Representative J. C. Watts, of Oklahoma, a former college-football star and the only black Republican in Congress, challenged Boehner for his leadership post. It wasn’t that Republicans disliked Boehner; they just liked the idea of Watts better. The rebuke devastated Boehner and he considered resigning from Congress, as Gingrich did after he was forced to step down as Speaker. It’s humiliating to hang around with no power.
