Liz Cheney was probably the last “traditional Republican” they had and they made an example of her. Kevin picked country over party and that led to his ousting. Who’s going to side with the Democrats now?
Exactly. They made Liz fucking Cheney persona non grata in the Republican party. The patients are running the asylum now. There’s no one behind the wheel of that clown car.
It’s not hard to find five Republicans from a moderate district full of Never Trumpers. They would secure their seat voting for Jeffries and see their own legislation get pushed through.
If the moderates voted in the primary, perhaps.
They should, but I don’t think they do.
I would personally love to see that happen, but I think it’s unlikely. It would probably be more likely to get a more conservative compromise Democrat as speaker of the house, but only after the Republican party festers for another week or two.
So who are they and why hasn’t Jeffries been elected yet?
GOP House rules, they won’t vote until they have 217 votes.
Ok Charlie Brown, try and kick that football! I’m rooting for you.
