1. He only needs the dems to stay on as speaker

But the dems probably can't save his house seat if he gets primaried for giving us everything we want in return.

So it's a question of does he want the speakership for the remainder of his last term in the house, and then no wingnut welfare, or give up the big office and keep his cushy govt job and perks until it looks like he would be primaried, then retire into some university or think tank or k street sanctuary.

My guess is he will go quietly. He is a coward, but he likes nice things.
