There are not enough conservatives in the House to change this and Republicans barely hold a majority.

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

Meaningful opposition makes sense. Political suicide does not.

Yes, indeed there would be a tidal wave of totlitarian laws that would accompany a Democrat speaker. We can't risk that now.

And yes meaningful opposition to Johnson makes sense. Which is why when MTG says that Johnson is terrible and won't have the votes for speakership in the next, 119th Congress, I'm all for that.

But if she pushes the vacate button now, I'm out.

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.
