If GOP won't unite for speaker, Turner says a deal "will have to be done" with Democrats (Mike Turner, CR Liberty Score 43%)

If House Republicans won't rally behind Rep. Jim Jordan or another GOP member to become speaker, GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that "obviously" a "deal will have to be done" with Democrats for a leader of the lower chamber.

Turner, a Republican from Ohio who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday that Jordan, the right-wing Judiciary Committee chair, is his pick for McCarthy's successor. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said the same during an appearance on "Face the Nation" last weekend.

Mace was one of eight Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives who voted with all Democrats to oust McCarthy from his role as House Speaker, in a historic revolt by right-wing lawmakers that came in response to McCarthy's reliance on Democrats to pass funding to avoid a government shutdown. Turner voted alongside the vast majority of Republicans to keep McCarthy as speaker, which is second in line for the presidency.

Mike Turner (OH) - CR Liberty Score 43%

These are the types that Boehner and Ryan and McCarthy have appointed as Chairmen.

Is it any wonder they can't get bills done and voted to the floor between January 3rd and September 30th??

"We just GOTTA bundle everything into one vote!"

No, you don’t have to make a deal with the devil. Why give up power? That’s stupid.

Don’t care how long it takes. If y’all aren’t passing laws, we probably have more freedom and less waste of taxpayer dollars.

Ask Mitt Romney and his uniparty buddies if he would block Biden bringing in Palestinians. Ask McCarthy. He wants the job back, ask him to swear that he would block Biden from bringing in Palestinians.

Ask all candidates, including McCarthy ( he still wants his job back), if he would block Biden from bringing in Palestinians. Siding with the Democrats on open borders is what got McCarthy ousted, let’s not let it happen again.

There is no way to block Biden from bringing in Palestinians, except by using the power of the purse. But continual continuing resolutions prevent the use of the power of the purse.

That’s the game. So ALL policy comes from the Executive, and not the Legislature.

And the clown show continues…

So a bunch of doofuses collude with democrats to remove the speaker..

And the likely outcome is that more doofuses will collide with democrats to install a new speaker…

And somehow this will make sure that we have a more conservative leadership..

Clown Show, the whole lot of em.
