4. The GOP is disintegrating if he's the best they have.

The Tea Party hardliners have been trashing him for years, he's a rhino in their eyes. He will never be able to placate the rabid conservatives who have taken control of the House. Republicans are mired in a chaos of their own making because nobody is going to be "pure" enough for these idiots.

Nobody can be elected and nobody wants the thankless job of cat herder or zombie leader. The irony here is Boehner will be forced to stay on as Speaker, and he maybe he's had enough of these clowns and he will work with Pelosi and the Dems to pass the debt limit and the other big bills to close out his speakership by giving his backstabbing Republican caucus the bird.
