I suppose things might have turned out the same with McCarthy but the Repubs of the House might have tried to unite to sustain control. Instead they kicked one Repub out of the House and more of them are now resigning mid term. Obviously the move is on to yield control of the House to Hakeem Jeffries.
What is the prize that makes it vital for Dems to take control of the House before the Nov election? The presidential election! With Donald Trump gaining masterfully in the polls, he stands to take the WH running away.
BUT, the presidential election has to be approved in the House - normally a Constitutional formality. Chuck Schumer demonstrated this week that the Dem Party needs override the Constitution. The GOP is quietly going along with Schumer’s seizure of power; if the roles were reversed there is no doubt the Dems would actively fight in disruptive ways to restore ‘normal order.’
Why is ALL OF THIS happening? Because the Swamp pro-war cabal is in fear of losing its grip on the American people; the public is refusing to jump on board with the Swamp’s proxy war with Russia via Ukraine... a war fully intended to escalate to a full scale U.S. vs Russia (nuclear?) war.
The Voice of the People is the House of Representatives and all coup d’etats need an appearance of being ‘normal’ and legal.
The Republic is on the verge of collapsing. 😬
