Ok, maybe Matt Gaetz get's neutralized or even even driven out altogether, but there's also a real good chance Jordan takes over as Speaker. Dems had a chance to prove they were the "adults in the room" but, instead, may have allowed the situation to get worse.
@CanisPundit nothing "to my liking". , let's be real. I just believe we'd have looked more like leaders if we shut that MAGAt down.
@JKMooney reports are that their strategy was precisely to allow it to get worse.
It is hard to argue that a MAGA led house is better than McCarthy for the nation.
Because that will win elections in year?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Yea, I know. Let the monster they willingly let into their party tear them apart. I get it. Risky play though, gives the "monster supporters" a chance to counter play. I could be wrong, but that's how I be read the situation.
Gosh, creating a civil war in your own caucus when you only have five votes to play with, this sounds like a very well-thought-out "strategy".
They'd better hope every single one of 'em hates Democrats more than they do one another, but that seems like a pretty big ask to me.
Someone explain to me how this "strategy" plays out for them.
Ell oh ell, "real chance", okay.
They can't pass a defense bill, you think every single Republican in the House loves Jordan? Why? What about Scalise? Will he get zero votes?
There's a "real chance" that a flipped coin will land on its edge, but it's not large.
@mcfate at the moment, they are running closely matched.
Good, let 'em take 150 votes on it.
I mean, two guys with enormously inflated egos, no unwillingness to ever back down, and exaggerated senses of their own importance fighting over ONE chair, what could go wrong here?
@JKMooney what could the Democrats have done differently to your liking?
