Don’t forget Tenn, they can call a vote any second of any day they choose to. Do it now. Lose? Do it again in the new session.
Why wait? People need a copy of the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green badly in the conservative (I wonder) wing of DC.
That is true, they can call a vote at any moment.
And if the elites try to pass amnesty, that leadership vote will be called.
Give it a little time. More “Cantor Surprises” are in the works.
That will only strengthen our conservative demand for leadership power.
There is a reason NO conservative stepped up NOW.
With the key word being NOW.
A knock down brawl is coming. Be patient.
Conservatives whiffed during the caucus vote after the 2012 election, allowing Boehner a smooth ride back to the Speakership even after sacking conservative committee heads. They got very close, but got wobbly at the last minute and backed down.
Now they're repeating that behavior.
I'm tired of the "keeping the powder dry" excuse because tomorrow never comes with the GOP (conservative or e), the next battle is never engaged, we're always told to wait for the right time.
Well, now is the right time. There is a wind blowing into the sails now. Cantor's loss is the call to arms. It's disheartening to see, again, that our leaders are failing to see that. Or, if they see it, they are going wobbly again.
It's about building "street cred," so to speak. As you said, lose and do it again next time. But if they never even try, if they never ever engage, then the threats become bluster because nobody will ever believe that anyone will actually act, because nobody ever does in the end.
