*****MAGA in disarray, who will be speaker of the House***** McCarthy REMOVED! Jim Jordan 0-3. Election denier Mike Johnson confirmed. Vote them out

[Huey Grey]

This current process seems designed for failure. 9 candidates. Eliminate 1 each round. First candidate to majority wins even if others haven't officially lost. There's loyalty oaths. Some members refuse to sign it. It's all closed doors. You've got to imagine this will stir up all kinds of bad blood, fighting, and ultimately backstabbing when to goes to an official floor vote.

It's all intentional.

Watch the R's finally get their shit together an pick the first Black speaker in Donalds.

That'd be a pretty crazy ending to this shit show...

Do we really want a speaker with 3 years of experience in Congress? I mean, I wouldn't pick AOC and I like her.

No. But at this point.... .

Rep. Byron Donalds Says Race for Speaker Must Be "Member Driven, Not Speaker Driven"

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), one of several candidates seeking to be the Re;publican nominee for speaker of the House, said the choice must be "member driven, not speaker driven."

www.c-span.org

Politically...he'd be a interesting choice. First black speaker might have some appeal for members to recover from the shit show of the last couple weeks.

That's IF the R caucus would all of the sudden become politically savvy....which is a HUGE if. They've been politically moronic and dysfunctional to this point.

Part of me wants to see Speaker Gaetz. Just so for once he's given real responsibility and shown world wide for the clown he is. But don't want to take the chance of Biden and Kamala dying at the same time.

Good point,.. Someone with zero exposure to this shit show would be preferred, but given the options I wouldn't hold three years against this guy...

Nah,.. not a problem.

Can't happen soon enough.

Everything I've read says that Emmer will have trouble getting 217. But I guess we'll see soon enough. He'll probably get the nod in half an hour or so.

Is Emmer the candidate the Democrats can live with and put in place?

 

[mjtommy]

Is Emmer the candidate the Democrats can live with and put in place?

Not sure but it’s not the Dems responsibility to help elect a republican speaker.

 

[torbee]

Well, Emmer is the one I'm pulling for:

Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon on Friday called Emmer “the biggest never-Trumper in the House” and “a guy who hates Donald Trump,” saying he has no chance to become speaker.

 

[Huey Grey]

Is Emmer the candidate the Democrats can live with and put in place?

He's more liberal than McCarthy. But that's not saying much. Dude is still Republican nuts.

 

[Chishawk1425]

 

[DFSNOLE]

I agree 100%. However, having a speaker that you feel you can work with is both a positive for the Democrats and for the country as a whole.

 

[DFSNOLE]

And, if the Catturd is against him, He may be the best one available.

At this point it's pretty obvious Trump is on the Dem pay roll Him and Gaetz...the gifts that keep on giving.

Another reason for the Democrats to support him? Right, @binsfeldcyhawk2?

Well, if Trump and Gaetz hate Emmer that speaks well of him IMO.

D's won't for him and neither will Gaetz and crew so he's dead on arrival...

 

[srams21]

There is no one who the GOP will vote through anymore. The party is a complete and total shitshow.

The GOP isn't worthy of any office, again.

Emmer is the best shot of possibly getting some Dems to cross over. Not sure, see what his agenda is

So a drug dealer with a felony bribery plea? You Republicans sure can pick them. Just outstanding!

That won’t happen unless there are major concessions.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Correct, and rightfully so.

 

[MitchLL]

Will McCarthy and other House Republicans run to Fox Network and blame the Dems when the latest vote fails to elect a Speaker?

Me betting a resounding YEP!

 

[MitchLL]

That won’t happen unless there are major concessions.

Agree.

Dems should demand the foolish Biden impeachment hearings get flushed.
