You aren't considering the tidal wave of totalitarianism that would accompany a Dem speaker, including using the 14th Amendment to block Trump.

Plus packing the Supreme Court with a few more far-left democrat judges, making D.C. a state, making vote harvesting and no ID voting mandatory nationwide, making abortions legal up to the date of birth, giving trannies the right to use women's bathrooms and join women's sports, making it illegal to block children from being sterilized and having their reproductive organs amputated in the name of "gender affirming care," and everything else on the democrats' wish list.

The democrats know that there is a good chance that Trump will be re-elected and Republicans will take back the Senate and the House in November. If they can take control of the House before then they will push through everything that they possibly can before the end of the year.

Dems don’t have 3nough Senate Seats to break the Filabuster.

Under the Harry Reid Rule (formerly known as the Nuclear Option), the Senate can abolish the filibuster at any time with an affirmative vote of the majority of the Senators who are present.

RFK Jr. is pro amnesty, pro abortion, pro universal healthcare, and pro green new deal and you are contemplating voting for RFK Jr. over Trump.

I stand by what I said.

Thanks for the reminder.

Who here trusts 51 senators not to deliver the final destructive votes to this country?

I agree and understand all the points you make as to why Jeffries should not be SOH.

But why? Why have the Rats said they will vote to KEEP Johnson?

My guess is they like him as a Useful Idiot. They like the internal fight this issue is causing Republicans.

Thoughts?

The Dems thought they had other ways to get Trump in '21 thru '23. Those things haven't worked. 2024 will be a year like no other.

If my memory is correct, Pelosi said they would save McCarthy. And then they didn't save him.

Yes, the democrats have said loudly and clearly, they will keep Johnson in office. They are ecstatic about the big win he gave them in an election year and Biden couldn’t have been happier, either, as he enthusiastically endorsed the bill.

The flag waving pep rally showed how grateful they were to Johnson for backing down and capitulating on border security first! They owe him for his caving.

i find ironic that Thomas Massie was called all sorts of names, like rino .....etc when he endorsed desantis a while ago.

it feels like WWF where a face becomes a heel overnight and vice versa.

To remove Johnson, fund a primary challenge, and a Trump aligned RNC will begin doing these things after the election.

People, most of this was about the debt ceiling.

There is $36T of debt and the composite interest rate is 3.2% AND RISING. It doesn’t matter what is done in Congress. There is no fix for this.

NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

Get Trump elected and start attacking the Swamp. $36T precludes ANY AND ALL OTHER GOALS.

I’m so afraid that Trump has learned nothing.

Makes sense. Democrats lie. And if they figure out that getting rid of Johnson would be in their best interests, then he’ll be gone in a heartbeat.

Trump is running in the purple swing states to get enough votes counted properly to thwart fraud

Aligning himself with outlier MTG doesn’t help that

And I’m an MTG fanboy

Forget it Rand, it’s politics

True dat. But we’ve always had heroes and zeroes who are the same person.

Giuliani and Bush are examples.

If DeSantis does get the veep pick, then we’ll see such an about face here, it’ll make heads spin.

“I knew Trump would make the right call!”

Who knows, maybe Johnson will be a hero someday soon.

Fickle people, we are.

While you look at (study) my posting history, please link to where I said I supported the Colorado initiative to get rid of Trump.

This is the second time I’ve told you to do this. You won’t and you can’t. And haven’t I told you to tell us what else you think is wrong with Trump, besides his support of Johnson?

Do that too. Never Trumper.
