Because too many Republicans are dimocrats.

This is all for show. I watched Newt this morning and his explanation makes sense.

DJT made an offer they couldn’t and won’t accept. If they do it’s a win for him.

In reality DJT doesn’t want it to pass. They passed so many regulations and in the last month, DJT doesn’t want the government to implement these regulations so it’s better that it stays shut.

Is this in reference to Kamala thinking she can be Governor of California?

She really thinks she can just do more of the same, throw money around, buy the office.

The kindest possible explanation is noting that the GOP is often referred to as the “Stupid Party”.

A “whip” only functions when a straight majority vote is needed, and you’re operating within your own party.

My understanding is that these funding bills require a 2/3 vote, and a House “whip” cant really work and count votes in the opposing party. So these votes have been mostly inconsequential because even if every Republican votes in favor of them, they still will fall far short of the 2/3rds they need for the bill to pass.

Have we truly whipped the votes since Tom Delay was speaker?

I think they SHOULD make idiots of themselves on tv. Go on the record, whether you have the votes or not. I wanna know how each votes. And it’s fine if it takes them 50 rounds of votes to get there. That way you can deduce who got bought off.

They already knew.
Some people said “We’ll be onboard” and lied.
Others are simply in it for the theater.
Question is, who’s going to get primaried first?
