Multiple members emerged from the House GOP’s speaker forum on Tuesday saying they don’t see either candidate being any closer to having the votes needed to secure the gavel on the floor.
Driving the news: “No one is close to 217,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said after Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La) and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pitched members on why they believe they should be the next speaker.
They absolutely will spin it as the Democrats fault and their voters will eat every bit of it up.
Republican politicians: [strangle infants with their bare hands while chanting hymns to Satan and ‘Death to America’]
Conservatives: “Well, neither side is perfect, there’s a lot of bad going on, some we know about, some we don’t. Really I don’t support either side when you get down to it.” [immediately votes a straight Republican ticket]
“Democrats have done worse.” -Republican voters without being able to name a single instance
I’m not doing your research, look it up yourself!
Almost literally a response I got earlier. 🤣
It’s the independents (whoever they are) that swing elections in places. And those places fill seats.
We need all swing voters to see the shitshow that is the GOP. It’s already obvious, but I’ve encountered way to many"enlightened/disengaged" voters and I’m ready for them to see that can’t afford that shit now.
Oh, I didn’t say they weren’t trying. But even a dim bulb can figure out that if it takes a majority of the House to elect and keep a Speaker, and the House has a Republican majority, then the reason there isn’t a Speaker is because the majority party can’t keep their shit together.
I think you’re overestimating the majority of the American electorate. A solid chunk of low information voters think Biden is in charge of everything and anything bad that happens is solely his fault.
