The next sacrificial lamb has emerged

[gibsonguy]

Great the rino cuck wins

[Pox]

No, the left wants this asshole to be nominated. He's more or less one of them already.

The dems will vote for him.

[Mouton]

R from Minn? I’ll take my chances with someone else.

[Bob434]

great- a representative from Minisotastan

[Kazan]

Emmers is worse than McCarthy and Paul Ryan.

It's time for a new party.

The Republican party hopelessly corrupt and refuses to represent its base.

[chopperk]

Emmer is a Soros stooge and will stab Trump in the back. This will give Soros another door to the White House.

[BBQToadRibs2]

Well, Ukraine is happy.

[Kazan]

Under no circumstances should the conservative patriots that stood firm and got rid of McCarthy allow this RINO to become Speaker.

The fate of the Republican should hinge on Emmers' defeat.

[Paul46360]

RIGHT...even tho I read one article that said that the DEMOrats are in LOCK STEP with commie jeffries...I can expect Emmer to get a vote or 2 from them.

[Swirl]

A very bad Choice! Looks to be worse than McCarthy.

[Jack023]

What if President Trump formed a third party? What would happen?

[basalt]

this guy believes in abolishing the electoral college...hope you guys are happy, this is what you get for pulling all this non sense. This guy will get dem votes..again, hope you guys are happy.

The dems will vote for him.

If so, then the Dems decide who the House Speaker is, and he will be beholden to them. All of the halfwits on here babbling about how Gaetz's little tantrum was good for conservatism had their only chance to be vindicated by the possibility of Jim Jordan as Speaker. All of the alternatives going forward are as bad as McCarthy, or worse.

When he was in the Minnesota Legislature, he was often a blowhard and voted pretty conservatively. He ran for Governor and his campaign was less than inspiring. had a hard time raising money. That hurt him in the end when the race got close.

He ended up with a seat in Congress as a consolation prize of sorts when Michelle Bachman decided to retire. his district is solid GOP and he’ll hold it as long as he wants to.

He’s not RINO material - but he’s not a real true conservative either. Sadly enough, he may be just the person we need to be Speaker.

[BigFreakinToad]

He’s from Minnesota? Thats worse than a Kalifornian or new york republican.

All on you gaetz

[AnotherUnixGeek]

What if President Trump formed a third party? What would happen?

The Republican vote would be split and the Democrats would win the White House for the next 20 years. At least.

[Freee-dame]

If a Republican wins because Democrats vote for him, it will be additional proof that the Republicans in DC are the party of collusion, far worse than just the stupid party.

[basalt]

you people still dont understand how all this works, do you???...this guys gonna win, hell get democrat votes. See, Gaetz wasnt so smart afer all, was he??....hope you guys are happy now.

[dfwgator]

The sooner we do away with this illusion, the better.
