Rep. Tom Emmer dropped his bid for speaker of the House of Representatives, just hours after he secured the nomination, with former President Donald Trump and dozens of Republican lawmakers expressing opposition to his candidacy.

Emmer, the Republican majority whip, had prevailed over a crowded field of eight GOP candidates to secure the nomination after several rounds of voting Tuesday morning.

But the Minnesota Republican didn’t have the 217 Republican votes needed to secure the gavel. Twenty-six Republicans opposed Emmer in a vote held after his nomination to gauge support before bringing the majority whip before the House floor.

I still say it is time for the American people to demand that the 'clowns' in the GOP be locked in a smallish room with no a/c and no heat and no food and no water and no bathroom until they choose somebody enough of them can and will vote for and elect as Speaker.

[XponentialChaos]

What a bunch of idiots. They suck at governing.

They‘re better at being the minority party to just bitch about what the Democrats do. That way they don’t have to DO anything.
