HAKEEM JEFFRIES wants to "accelerate" talks with RINOs over a new Speaker

A) Jeffries: There have been ongoing informal conversations that have been undertaken over the last few days. I think there's a possibility those can accelerate now that Jim Jordan clearly does not have the votes to be Speaker. For good reason.

B) Jeffries: are many good men and women on the Republican side of the aisle who are qualified to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives. There is no circumstance where Jim Jordan is one of them.

I’m not sure they will do that

They might sign some unity document and cite the need for it during this present crisis.

Talk about doing a deal with the Devil!

Started by Gaetz and his little band of turncoats who colluded with Jeffries to begin with.

Can you imagine the Leftist news discussion show panels all agreeing that “Finally a moderate to end this time of MAGA extremist GOP types who could end our democracy.” The most exciting trend for them since Romney and McCain.

This has to stop.

Almost all the Democrats would have to vote for the chosen RINO for it to work. You’d know early on when multiple Dems start voting for a particular Republican. By the time you’d get to the “B”’s, it would be obvious and any Republican who voted for that same candidate from that point on, would be complicit.

McCarthy was doing what Democrats do as well.

Despite Jordan being a very popular speaker choice among GOP voters-being very popular among House members but 8-

we’re going to blame the guy who actually did represent the voters.

Trump won NEB hugely.

Don Bacon is a NO

Who is he representing?

I mentioned before, but I have to rub my salt into the wounds again.
Those idiots, who voted McCarthy out will create speaker Jeffries. It looks like that more and more every day.
Politics is an art of achieving the best possible outcome given the circumstances!
Not the idiocy of pure few, who are able of achieving nothing, but bravely taking Custer’s last stand every time.
I am having enough of those pure “Patriots”, who are helping AOC to destroy America!

Jeffries had a better chance before Jordan only came up 8 short.

At 50 short, Jefferies had a better chance.

I’ve been telling folks the Dems will be a boutique party of the coastal elites.

Like 9/11 was an end and not a beginning, this is the climactic end of the Dems as we know them.

The excesses, lawlessness, tyranny etc is an end not a beginning.

Doomsday predictions are often legendarily wrong=we’re both almost certainly wrong along with all the rest of same doom predictions-with the outcome being somewhere in the middle.

Jeffries wont ever get to the magical number

But they can agree on someone who can like a spineless RINO!~

Some of those 20 are defiant. Maybe they’re going to retire and dont care

How much of this is to undermine Jordan in his investigations of the Biden Corruption Family???

Jordan seems to be making strong advances on that front. How much will the Dems castigate his ability in the near future???

“Jeffries cannot be Speaker”

Why not? He only needs 5 votes.

None of the GOP will vote for him so he can’t get the magical number.

They’re not that stupid.

However they can agree on someone else to take the position.
