After his shitshow of a speakership does he have any realistic chance of reelection? He looks pathetic and weak and will probably be defeated by a conspiracy blogger.

He's already decided that he's out of the speakership entirely, meaning that getting the speakership will likely turn into another John Boehner-style Cold War where the most right side of the party gets exactly what they want and the more "moderate" side will get flushed again unless the "moderates" turn it into an actual civil war. Best case scenerio is that Dems get 5 votes and just make one of their own the speaker for the rest of the session.

I meant his chances of reelection to the House, not as speaker of it.
