That is why they have the secret ballot when selecting the nominee. They choose their compromised corrupt liberal, and if he fails to win, they can have the democrats vote for him too. Then they can claim that they are helpless, and it was the democrat vote the put the RINO in charge.

They have a foolproof corrupt system.

WIKI-—Emmer is pro-life. He has an A+ rating from Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and opposes the use of taxpayer dollars for abortion purposes.[54]

Based on FiveThirtyEight’s congressional vote tracker at ABC News, Emmer voted with Donald Trump’s stated public policy positions 91.5% of the time,[39] which ranked him average in the 116th United States Congress.

On May 19, 2021, Emmer and the other seven Republican House leaders voted against establishing a national commission to investigate the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol Complex. Thirty-five House Republicans and all 217 Democrats present voted to establish such a commission.[42][43]

No Speaker is better than Emmer as Speaker. With no Speaker there can be no deals with the Dems to waste money. I don’t trust Emmer to investigate the Bidens or the 2020 Big Steal. Gaetz and company should vote “no” and force the Dems to help elect a RINO exposing the Uniparty in the DC Swamp.

Democrats will trade him votes to be Speaker for his support of Ukraine aid and other spending measures.

This is The Pattern in the swamp:
MAKE EVERY GOOD DEED COSTLY in a bid to prevent good deeds.


It seems like the DS is always one step ahead. What can men do against such reckless hate?

What do you say to this?

Tom Emmer cast doubt on the 2020 election and supported lawsuit to throw election to Trump

“It’s amazing that Gaetz and his buddies thought his little stunt was going to work out in our favor.”

He got punked by the Democrats.

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.

Well, he is our conference's nominee from a large selection of choices across the spectrum. It is about time for this circus to be over.

I can see maybe some sacrificial "not present" members from the D side to make the math happen, but never any Yes votes.

Emmer supports national popular vote. He’s a total farce in terms of the founding of our constitution.

Dems will vote present to give him the win. Ukraine and Israel get more $ than requested. Border remains open.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) on Tuesday said the conservative House Freedom Caucus is not committing to backing Emmer on the floor.

LOL!

So your beloved Party is destroyed in 2024, this was a foregone conclusion already, this seals the deal. Yes I know the Democrats win but your party didn’t care that they won in 2020 against Trump did they? Then again have the Democrats not already won? Their agenda and spending continued, there was no accountability with Hunter or BiteMe with McCarthy. I had Goldwater and Reagan Republicans telling me before this started they were voting for Trump but the GOP congress messed the bed one too many times, they were done with the GOP lies.

The only chance the GOP has is Trump winning the presidency and your beloved Party will not allow that either. Thus, we get the Democrats/Communists or the Republican Little Me-Me socialists. Pass on both.
