Yesterday I was listening to Wayne Allyn Root's AM-radio show where he's based locally here in Vegas. He presented an interesting point. How many Democrats would be willing to go on-the-record and vote against Byron Donalds, who could be the first black in history to become Speaker Of The House?
It presents an interesting dilemma for the party that relies on blacks as one of their largest voting blocs.
To the DEMs, a black person who is not a DEM is not really black. Ask Clarence Thomas about this.
Of course, they wont vote for him...
hes not black black
The screeching on the House floor will be entertaining...
They’re already voting in lockstep for the election denier Hakeem Jeffries.
That is how we got Obama for 8 years.
exactly...
but they only have 212...
All the R’s probably will so it’s irrelevant whether any D’s do or not. They’re chomping at the bit to get back to “normal” aka pissing away the taxpayer’s money so they’ll support anyone who does not identify as a “conservative” and who isn’t supported by Matt Gaetz. Plus they’ll have perfect cover because how could they not vote for a Person Of Color?
“How many Democrats would be willing to go on-the-record and vote against Byron Donalds, who could be the first black in history to become Speaker Of The House?”
Not sure. Maybe all of them.
And how many republicans they need?
They could also get all the dems and 7-8 RINOs to decide the leader. Gaetz wouldn’t look so smart then.
Count me in.
No kidding. He’s a traitor to the cause…
Frankly, I am over the “first black *****” shtick. I don’t like playing their games. You can’t vote against this guy or you’re racist. If he would be a good speaker, then fine, but enough with the identity politics. It has become tiresome.
Along with Ben Carson, Candace Owens and Tim Scott.
As my newly elected Congressman, who I supported, he's toast to me now.
I think the writings on the wall..
The Ds know it too...
Can you say Speaker Jefferies ???
You mean, after similar arguments for Colin Powell, Condi Rice, etc., you’re underwhelmed?
Amen!
I don’t think it will matter who is Speaker. The GOP Speaker will cave. That being said, if the person selected doesn’t upset the Leftist then I’m hard no. Jordan doesn’t Mke me feel like he won’t cVe but because of the people a Jordan speakership scares, annoys and frustrates he was acceptable.
He was a Dem for many years. Only switched to Republican in 2010. And he’s too new for this job.
