Massie should now find himself at the bottom of the most inconsequential committee in the House.

Massie should now find himself at the bottom of the most inconsequential committee in the House.He can redeem himself by supporting the house GOP caucus when they vote for Trump legislation.

Massie was totally right to attempt the put some backbone into Johnson the squish.
To: SoConPubbie
That is often how these guys play the game. They count the votes and, when it is safe to do so, they will make a big deal about their principles.

All the smoke is clearing, and Mike Johnson, for better or worse, remains standing, sufficiently propped up for the time being.
To: toddausauras
Not exactly thrilled but since we have party that does nothing while the rats steal 10-15 House seats you end up with a Johnson as Speaker
