There will ultimately be a third party that does represent its base if the Republican party won't

the Democrats would love to see Republicans split

Democrats would win every election after that!!

“I’ve always gotten along with him,” Trump added of Emmer.

If this one doesn’t take, the Republicans should go through their whole membership list one by one successively till one gets to 217.

Honestly, the Dems never vote for a republican for speaker - it’s bad optics. The republicans never vote for a democrat.

How well did the Federalist party do after the election of 1800?

If he’s fiftieth that means he’s in the top quadrant of Republican conservatives and more conservative than over 150 of his colleagues.

I would actually argue the question is incorrect. The correct question is, “How long will God hold back His wrath against this once-great land?”

As with ancient Israel, we have turned away from our First Love, the God of our forefathers and Whose principles this nation was founded upon. And like Israel, for our defiance, we will be led into captivity for generations. Look around and see that the machinations of this are already at play. I fear judgment already waits at the door.

Been hearing this a lot on this thread with nothing to back it up.

Do you have a link to some info?

From The National Pulse: “Prior to serving in Congress, Emmer worked as a spokesman for the National Popular Vote initiative – an effort funded by George Soros and backed by former President Barack Obama to essentially end the Electoral College and elect the President via a nationwide popular vote.”

NO NO NO NO!

“They are still living in the good ole days...”

No.
I think it’s WORSE than that: the eGOP have actually become part of a Pro-Swamp elitist cabal that exists to aggrandize itself at our expense, and in spite of our appeals to our supposed “Representatives.”

They’re not trying to “find common ground”; they have already found it, and they are fighting off Conservatives’ efforts to derail their Deep Swamp gravy train.

They want Emmert, who’s WORSE than McCarthy, because that will punish Gaetz and the folks in flyover country for the attempt to get a more Conservative voice into the Speaker’s chair.

THAT is the game afoot, here: PUNISH Conservatives for listening to the base, and trying to move in a more Constitutionally supportive direction.

RNC/DNC will do ANYTHING BUT allow moving FedGov in a MORE Constitutional direction, and I don’t think we have yet seen the extent of what “ANYTHING” means, either.

“ You don’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation.”

I understand the situation for conservatives is Much, much worse than it was before the Gaetz coup. I also understood on day one that it wasn’t going to end any other way.

Ever since McCarthy was heaved out, the Left and the Swamp Repubs have been screeching that the gov’t is paralyzed and “can’t act”.

Like every other Western gov’t, the US gov’t doesn’t do anything but bad stuff, so paralyzed is a gain.
