Fascinating perspective. Everyone else is ignorant about politics. Well I might not be a political genius but unlike some I can count. The vote passed 204 to 211. Which, hold on let me do the math for a second, yes it appears to be a 7 vote margin. Which let’s see, oh yes 7 is less than the 11 democrats who missed the vote. Huh how about that?
Mike Johnson did his job you say. I agree 100%. He did. He whipped the vote. Hakeem Jeffries did not. He failed spectacularly. It’s his goddamn job to whip votes. It’s by far his biggest job. Why then did your chosen leader fail to do his primary job? Why was he so easily outsmarted? Why did he allow Mike Johnson to so easily outmaneuver him?
Mike Johnson can keep track of public schedules but Jeffries can’t? Your entire argument proves why Jeffries is not cut out for the job. Because either he is not competent enough for it, or he is failing on purpose. Either shows a failure of leadership from your chosen leader.
It’s a 7 vote margin because only 211 votes were needed.
The vote ended at 6pm, decided again by the speaker, when 6 of the Dems returned. They held another vote shortly after that only Republicans voted for and Dems rejected.
Guess how that vote went? 215 to 209.
Remove Massie and the independent (who voted to table impeachment btw) and it’s still 213. Republicans would have had the votes regardless, or it would not have been voted on. They didn’t vote simply because they weren’t needed.
You’re also counting on a vote from Haley Stevens who took her mask off the day before the election, and from a rep who was in surgery. I guess Jeffries should tell that person (Luis Correa) to skip surgery huh?
