The Frankish Reich Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 4 hours ago, B-Man said: Very illustrative. They are just talking about a Speaker who would assume the position for a limited period of time. In reality, that would be no different than any Republican speaker, since one member - ONE! - may bring a motion to vacate the chair under the MTG rules. So you're just formalizing what already exists. I'd love to see this happen with significant Democratic support. We may actually get a functional House of Representatives again instead of the silly posturing of the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 “Why is your husband such a pig? Why would he get on TV and make an ####### of himself? Because he’s a deep-state prick? Because he doesn’t represent the people?” “***** come follow you all over the place” “I’m putting all your information over the internet now. Everybody else is,” “You’re going to be ***** molested like you can’t ever imagine,” but “non-violently.” “You must be a B word to marry a ***** ugly ***** like that.” This is good stuff. MAGA.

Is it possible the GOP and Dems more centrist members vote collectively to pick a new house leader? Unlikely. Because of how gerrymandered House districts are, most members face fairly easy general elections but are more at risk of getting primaried. Since primary voters are generally more to the extreme, that means that doing anything that may be seen as centrist or even cooperating across the aisle is far more likely to hurt a Representative than help them. The current system incentivizes the behavior we are witnessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The democrats have voted in lock step for their extremist. There are none who dare vote against who they are told to (unlike the GOP members) By the way , counting the 15 McCarthy votes and the three Jordan Votes , Jeffries has now lost 18 straight.
