Going with 17 because there is no one else, other than Dem Jefferies that can get 200 votes, and because the minority is holding the majority hostage - very bad optics showing that these 20 are more interested in anything other than governance.
It is hysterical that you call what we have GOVERNANCE, LOL, LOL the longer they can’t do anything the better!! These 20 are showing courage and not folding like lawn chairs!!!
So, 20 people standing up to the definition of the UNIPARTY SWAMP and exposing the other 200+/- as other members of that same SWAMP are holding folks hostage?
Out of curiosity, do you have a Republican in the House representing you? If so, have you received anything from their office, asking for your opinion on the matter? Has your rep held any kind of townhall to talk to you and the rest of the constituents to get any input?
“Governance”? Lol. Spoken like a Mitch.
We may as well restore regular order and force your buds in the GOPe and Dems to reveal themselves. Best way to get them voted out in 2024.
“there is no one else, other than Dem Jefferies that can get 200 votes”
Nonsense. If McCarthy were to endorse a compromise candidate, then that person could easily get over 200 votes. But he won’t, because he only cares about holding on to that power for himself.
