if its on the table for an anti-trump republican to be speaker, dems should take itDemocrats shouldn't make a deal. They should let this continue to show the country how fukking dumb these people are.
I still think it's too much of a win for this to happen. Every GOP House member knows that they'd get carved up in a primary, where some lunatic would just run to their right and make a bunch of campaign commercials about working with/capitulating to Dems to choose a speaker.
But that would be a massive win.
I would guess what'll happen is they'll eventually peel off one of the five who currently refuse to move, maybe put pressure on them in some way that will register, but this five-percent chance that what Bacon says will happen is worth hoping for.
They really don't. It's the Republicans problem to solve. McCarthy had two months to figure this shyt show out. The republicans enabled these retards since the tea party was a thing. Anyone with foresight knew that these loons craved attention more than anything.if its on the table for an anti-trump republican to be speaker, dems should take it
jeffries is not winning; eventually these cocksuckers will nominate mccarthy, scalise, or jordan. id far prefer getting a fred upton in there to completely shut down the far right's bullshyt, especially during the '24 election
breh, why would you want mccarthy, scalise or jordan instead of fred uptonThey really don't. It's the Republicans problem to solve. McCarthy had two months to figure this shyt show out.

And, you're risking the progressive part if someone like Kaisch or Upton get put up there. They're not going to flip lines for guys like that.
Meanwhile Jeffries approaching Bill Russell numbers
I love CNN
McCarthy can't even get votes with a majority. Do you think he's really going to get anything done if he can't even get elected to the role without giving up damn-near everything? House is going to be a useless, why give them any bargaining power when they're already crumbling on their own. Basically what all the Republicans were yee-hawing about how "Dems aren't on code" (despite them still getting things done) is happening to them and they have no idea what to do.breh, why would you want mccarthy, scalise or jordan instead of fred upton
its gonna be a republican no matter what. why wouldnt you take the best republican? making a deal for a non-MAGA would be a huge win.
but as funny as it is, this shyt is gonna be over in a week a republican will eventually be speakerMcCarthy can't even get votes with a majority.

They "won" the house by a lower margin than they though. Most of the MAGAtts barely won. Dems shouldn't do anything at all this point because regardless nothing is going to be done, so the best thing to do is let Republicans embarrass themselves. They've proved on a national stage that they are not "on code"
