Re: Jim Jordan molestor-abettor
I'm not seeing an end in sight.
The trumpaloons won't vote for a centrist and the centrists won't vote for a wingnut (guaranteed government shutdown and more) and the centrists won't give the Dems enough to flip.
Who flinches first?

Doesn't sound like Emmer is happening.O Really wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 1:13 amYeah Emmer is no catch particularly, but I just picked hime because he's majority whip. There are probably some backbenchers that are better ans less looney but I think they'd have to start with somebody in leadership. The other approach would be to go hunting for potential flippers in their own but that would be risky.

I still say if the Dems don't participate, Repugs will eventually put in a loon. Or a loonier.

Could be. The trumpaloons are suicidal and probably won't flinch.

I think Dems will participate if a group of RepuQs is willing to compromise and put forth a sane and responsible Speaker candidate. Dems may even be able to stomach one of the names being floated, with conditions like you proposed.

Jim Jordan molestor-abettor got 194 on the floor, but only 86 in caucus. Idk if the loon vote will ever be there.
It's a test of patriotism and courage whether the extremists get dumped.

Re: Jim Jordan molestor-abettor
Recent history and public votes suggest strongly that they'll fail.

Re: Jim Jordan molestor-abettor
As so far has been published, Dems haven't actually asked for anything yet but have expressed being open to discussion. Maybe they're following the old negotiation principle that "he who states a price first has lost."

Re: Jim Jordan molestor-abettor
We just need a few, but you're probably correct. Wimps.
I think any scheme has to originate with Repubs, at least publicly, in order to have any chance at all. It's risky enough without it appearing that some Repubs are servants to the Dems. Whether Dems have privately proposed an acceptable list, . Maybe not since it would be a death sentence, metaphorical or literal, for any named or cooperating Repubs if it were ever revealed.

No guts, no glory. Or pick any other cliche you like that expresses the very real idea that heroism isn't easy nor without risks. But the risks are lower if you're not going to run next term.

Didn't quite know where to put this post, but since it's a Republican that's creepy this thread seemed good.

Jim Jordan Mocked For Claiming 'No One Backs The Blue' More Than Trump
Many social media users noted that Trump's support of law enforcement is inconsistent at best.
Funeral for a White cop. Black perp with a Hispanic surname, of course.

WTF the Same Donald Trump that incited his domestic terrorist Supporters to the Capitol on Jan6? that attacked the officers ? this Donald Trump @Jim_Jordan
is saying backs the blue
No one…except around 100+million who ACTUALLY back the police and DON’T commit acts of treason.
And since you brought it up, no one aids and abets sex-criminals as ardently as you do, Jordan.
Well... if that's true, why did the republicans DEFUND the police "knowing" that Trump backs them? https://democrats-appropriations.house. ... -advantage
Unless they work for the FBI, DOJ or the United States Capitol . . .
More tweets (Xes?) at the link.He backs the blue about as much as you backed your wrestlers at The Ohio State.
