The Republican party, even when voters win, they lose.

Same. The more dysfunction in that chamber the better off the people are.

If the elections ever did get thrown t ok the house I’m almost 100% certain a GOP lead house would throw it to “the winner of the popular vote”. These people are not with their constituents whatsoever. They, for the most part, don’t understand the constitution or why the provisions that exists in the bill of rights are even a thing.

What disgusted me most of all was Rep. John James not voting for Jim Jordan.

I gave that man money when he ran for Senator, and I gave him money for his Representative run even though I'm not in his district.

He ran on a MAGA platform, but stabbed us all in the back.

The Republican Party is complicit with their Democrat buddies in Washington. Everything we accuse the Dems of (hating America, pedophilia, totalitarian tyranny) the Republican Party believes in as well.

Jordan Lived to fight another day. The Republican Party however is dead. The lies they allow to circulate about J6 will drown them

That means right now. Everyone who is voting a certain way should have primary opponents lines up already. The people have a role. Not just Trump for everything

You can lay this squarely at the feet of House Democrats who enticed or perhaps even entrapped Matt Gaetz to move to remove the Republican Speaker of the House.

“Clean HOUSE in 2024.’

Another objective without a strategy - as in clean house replacing who with whom and if you don’t know the answers you don’t have a solution to your own demand, nor a strategy toget there.

Yes, I am disappointed with James and still want to understand his vote. I keep wondering who already in Congress from the GOP actively supported James in his successful bid for Congress. It may have something to do with his vote.
