As of January 2025 the democrats will have a huge House majority and Jeffries will be Speaker then, anyway.
Just get used to it.
The only loss of a Democrat speaker will be the loss of Committee chairs. But I wonder if there has been any real work accomplished in the last year and a half. And it may be that the GOP caucus will see losing control of the committees is the price they pay for choosing losers as speakers. I get a sense that many GOP reps have a deep dislike for the new direction of the party and would rather be in the minority.
Johnson had the winning hand…border before foreign war aid. It’s the number one issue to voters. All he had to do was repeat it and repeat it again. He would have gotten it too because Ukraine is much more important to Dems. The thing is, we all know now that his winning hand was just for theater. He never intended to force the issue.
I don’t really see a difference between two parties.
For all those saying they don’t care if Jeffries become speaker, I suggest if/when it happens, you will support him and not complain, right?
We won’t see people on Free Republic lamenting a democrat in charge?
I lament McCarthy and Johnson. Before that, I lamented Boehner, Hastert and Ryan.
Pelosi was worse, though. She “deemed” Obama a natural born citizen, pushed through Obamacare, stopped the Hillary and Benghazi investigations, and lastly stuck a knife in the heart of MAGA, with not one but two impeachments and framing hundreds to rot in prison over her decision not to deploy the National Guard Trump offered on Jan 6th, then stacked a committee of liars to falsely frame and accuse.
Hakken is cut from the same cloth, and she will dictate her will through him.
I don’t want to keep electing RINO speakers, but absolutely resist having any democrat in charge. They’re venomous.
I wish people here would offer real alternatives instead of raw emotions and solutions that will never happen (MTG as speaker)...
The ONLY solution is to vote MAGA no matter what, and never, ever not vote.
the House of Representatives also will CHOOSE THE NEXT POTUS
in case the “election” is indecisive
This is why Masshole and MTG should STFU and get past the Ukraine/Israel funding bill and work to keep a GOP House in November. The M.I.C. ALWAYS wins, always will. Move on.
Johnson believes in white privilege. Eff him.
I wouldn’t want to vote for the Republican candidate in my district (open seat). Hopefully, there’s a libertarian candidate. I’ll vote for that guy. Or even for the Green Party. Consider it as the protest vote. I’ll only vote for guys in the Freedom Caucus. Otherwise, they’re not worthy of my vote.
Good article.
Jeffries is a strawman for Pelosi. She’s so unpopular the dems needed a new face, but people like Pelosi never give up power willingly. It’s just like Biden is the strawman for Barak Hussein Obama, our first muslim president.
