Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said Tuesday he will resign from Congress later this month rather than serve out the remainder of his term through 2024. Why it matters: The surprise announcement will cause House Republicans' already razor thin majority to dwindle even further

What's it gonna take for people around here to come around to thinking that maybe it's them who are not "Republicans"? Maybe Ken Buck is exactly what the Republicans are today? Seems to me that there's a lot of explanatory power in such a conclusion.
Buck is a RINO. He is a friend of McCarthy!!!! I wonder now if McHenry will leave early also. Nothing will surprise me. It only shows that these scum bugs are for themselves and since they did not get their way, they are having a hissy fit like little kids to get back.
Liberals disguised as “Republicans” infiltrated the GOP.
It get's the country even closer to this reality...
Democrats May Refuse to Certify a Trump Election If He Wins...
See #19 for the process.
National suicide is painless. America goes out with a bankrupt whimper. All these traitors can congratulate themselves as everything civilized disappears.
The ChiComs want a civil war in America in order to weaken us.
If the RATS pull this $hit, the Chinese commie gangsters might just get their wish.
If Trump has coat tails, this plan might be thwarted.
Just some? I’d say most.
The purpose of this is to hurt Lauren Boebert and Trump
Boebert is odds on favorite to win the primary in Buck’s district both because of the Trump endorsement and because of her name recognition.
Buck resigning puts his successor to a vacancy committee, which is probably staffed with RINO’s who will replace Buck with a very moderate Republican in a +27 R District. Then Boebert has to run against an incumbent in the primary.
This is the usual swamp method of keeping conservatives out of very conservative districts in CO. I’ve seen it happen over and over.
State rep Richard Holtorf hit it on the nose when he called Buck “the Liz Cheney of Colorado” . . .
“Read that sentence again...then tell us how Ken Buck leaving has any effect on MAGA conservatism.”
See my post 48. This is all about appointing an anti-trump replacement as the incumbent. They hope to take out Lauren Boebert, who will almost certainly win a fair primary in his district. This will make her run against an incumbent Republican in the seat.
I suspect he was bought off to leave early.
Soros(?)
IIRC, the rats bribed Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords with a chairmanship to switch parties and flip the Senate.
Rush was right. Follow the money/power to explain congressional actions.
Exactly, none of this is coincidence.
Not much of a screech Surrender Monkeys.
Two original screeches
“Bloodbath in November for the reps.”
“Democrats are going to control the House by the time November rolls around.”
And an echo screech
“Democrats are going to control the House by the time November rolls around.”

“I think that is the plan. It will be interesting to see where Buck lands. We will have a better idea then of what he was promised in exchange for resigning now.”
Please consider some facts.
Trump winning every swing states hasn’t crossed your minds.
Republicans are + 2.4 in House generic poll which is the equivalent of +6.4 because as both sides know Democrats always under preform this metric by an average of four points.
Crime Boss Joey and his gang are getting chewed up and spit out in the Hur Hearing.
AND
These numbers that must make it hard to rally your troops Surrender Monkeys
(NY Times/Siena poll) released Saturday March 2 – in order to hide it: Do you plan on voting for Biden/Trump? Overall: 43/48 -PLUS 5 when Trump did not lead in a single poll leading up to 2020 election.
The internals of this poll show Joey vs President Trump
Men: 40/49 - This is low for Trump but still a healthy margin
Women: 46/46 Democrats are supposed to be up by 12 and growing and with abortion in the mix they should be up by 15.
18-29 yr olds: 53/41 Trump lost this group by 20 in 2020
White: 40/53 This cleverly hides the huge lead Trump has among White men.
Black: 66/23 This is a true catastrophe for Joey considering that since this metric has been taken ( 1972) no Democrat has ever been elected president while getting under 88 percent of the Black vote.
Anyone that thinks that won’t affect House races is woefully ignorant of politics.
Hispanic: 40/46- first time ever that Hispanics intend to vote Republican
Other: 43/45 – This is Asians who like Blacks and Hispanics, are turning away from Democrats.
White w/ college: 55/40 Nothing new here see below which more than makes up for this
White w/o: 29/62 this group is steady
Midwest: 39/55 which includes Illinois and Minnesota lost causes anyway. This means Ohio Michigan and Wisconsin must have shown very well for Trump to produce a 16 point overall lead.
Suburb: 46/44 Democrats claim to own the suburbs because of abortion.
Another number not listed is that in New York State for the first time ever Jews are voting 51/42 Republican.
Add a recent breakdown of the Electoral College’s likely turn, available on Youtube, it shows Trump winning 315 to 220. And still winning if he loses Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Seems more and more likely, the Dems will have the majority soon.
Yep, it will most likely come down to the Santos seat that tips the scale TO the Dems. But the GOP can say they stood on principle while the rest of us suffer with the Dem policies they can pass with both houses.
Anyone know if it's the outgoing members who vote or the incoming ones?
Maybe that’s why he’s bailing? It’s the simplest explanation.
If the RATS pull this $hit, the Chinese commie gangsters might just get their wish."
Yes they do, and yes they may.
Things thought impossible just a few years ago are now happening. Stolen presidential election, parents not wanting marxism in their schools are labeled terrorist's by the feds, grown men thinking they can get pregnant and using girls bathrooms, DEI hires putting our airline industry in peril and on and on.
Not to mention the 20,000, 40,000, 100,000? (who really knows) military aged chinese men in our country illegally in the last 3 years...not to be outdone by who knows how many middle-eastern terrorists as well.
"If Trump has coat tails, this plan might be thwarted. "
Perhaps.
Image the (D)'s don't certify Trumps winning EC votes, but then certify remaining for biden. Then, the new congress is sworn in and they then de-certify biden's win saying the previous congress unduly de-certified Trump's.
We would see criminal indictments against those in congress from all across the nation.
Not legal or constitutional? Who cares anymore, it hasn't stopped the marxists so far.
That's a powder keg that probably get's us as close to a civil war since the last one.
The chaos agents are destroying this country.
I suspect the Deep State is forcing these guys out and NOW! so that Speaker will have no power and may even lose majority and speaker’s chair.
Hope the scumbag is terminal.
