modeblock Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 I hate that our legislative government is in SHAMBLES, but I LOVE to see conservatives eating their own. It brings peace and joy to my heart.

TomTom Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 What happens in the likely scenario that Jim Jordan does not make it either, looking at his votes against Scalise? Are they just gonna eventually nominate some unknown Republican backbencher no side can refuse or will there be 5 moderate Republicans voting for Hakeem Jeffries at some point? I don’t really see a solution just yet?

I don’t really see a solution just yet? McCarthy makes a deal to be the temporary speaker for the next 90 days. They pass something to keep the government open and then the chaos starts back up again Edited October 13, 2023 by Vroom Vroom 1

What will happen is at the absolute WORST case scenario is very centrist dems (think MGP, Jared Golden, Josh Gottheimer etc) will vote for some “consensus” Republican. Im still betting that enough people cave and select Jordan as speaker especially cuz the MAGA base is unleashing the dogs out on people trying to force his way through

Where are those 118 votes supposed to come from?

These “moderates” have caved to the crazies every time consistently for the last 30 years. The one time anybody (who isn’t even moderate) fought back (Liz Cheney, Jamie Herera Butler etc) they were quickly booted out of power

I’m just going off my instinct of course. But a lot of reps hate him. It’ll be real hard to get to 217. 1
VOSS Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Also - I imagine there are more than four of them who would prefer the government shut down next month and may not support anyone for speaker
VOSS Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 ALSO - I wouldn’t be shocked if some of them are secretly hoping they can force the “centrist” reps to make a deal with dems and then they can call them RINOs and play the victim on Fox and Newsmax
