Establishment Republicans Consider Working with Democrats to Pick House Speaker

[Resnic]

Why? They haven't co operated with anyone not on their side for years now and infact attack ones who weren't.

Working with them just means they will be take advantage of and democrats will still get what they want.

We never got a chance to see the plan, as McCain voted against it at the last moment out of spite.

If the plan was a failure, as you are inferring here, why did McCain vote "no". You'd think he would be happy to see a Trump failure.

The fact that McCain voted against it is prima facie proof that the plan was tremendous, so it had to be stopped.

There really wasn't a plan at that time of vote as AHC was voted down a few months earlier, just something they tried to work out the same afternoon of the vote. Here's a little history of the debacle.

American Health Care Act of 2017 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

McCain's complicated health care legacy: He hated Obamacare. He also saved it.

The Arizona senator, who died on Saturday, was driven less by his interest in health care policy than his disdain for bullies trampling the “little guy.”

McCain’s distaste for President Barack Obama’s health care law was no secret. While he agreed that the health care system was broken, he did not think more government involvement would fix it. Like most Republicans, he campaigned in his last Senate race on a promise to repeal and replace the law with something better.

After Republicans spent months bickering amongst themselves about which was better, McCain was disappointed in the option presented to senators hours before their vote: hobble the ACA and trust that a handful of lawmakers would be able to craft an alternative behind closed doors, despite failing to accomplish that very thing after years of trying.

What bothered McCain more, though, was his party’s strategy to pass their so-called skinny repeal measure, skipping committee consideration and delivering it straight to the floor. They also rejected any input from the opposing party, a tactic for which he had slammed Democrats when the ACA passed in 2010 without a single GOP vote. He lamented that Republican leaders had cast aside compromise-nurturing Senate procedures in pursuit of political victory.

They objected, as the law allows....and as Dems have done in every election they lost this century. Fraud is not a requirement.....moreover, that is in the Presidential election, not a Congressional eleciton, like the one Liz didn't even get the nomination of the Republican party

I never said the law doesn't allow it. I said contesting it is NOT respecting the will of the people.

One or two here and there. Unlike Republicans in 2021, they didn't have the support from the party to force Congress to recess while they debated the objections.

I keep asking you to post proof if the purported "swindle," but regrettably, you keep avoiding answering.

We've been through this before. The only "proof" you will accept is people convicted of voter fraud.

Can you believe these imbeciles? The party needs to be cleansed of these idiots. What can Republicans possibly gain by allowing Dims to have a hand in choosing their leaders? That would make as much sense as allowing Adolph Hitler to choose our generals during WW II.

While the Republican Party will vote on a nominee for House Speaker on Tuesday for the projected GOP-led Congress next year, some establishment Republicans are considering working with House Democrats to select a Speaker.​

​

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the favored candidate to win the party’s nomination for Speaker, will face a challenge from at least one of his colleagues during Tuesday’s vote.​

The 'Big Tent Party' is barely an umbrella at this point.

How do you compromise with people who want to imprison (and even kill) you?

Dims are the only ones who have managed to imprison their political opposition, turd.

Because they lacked support from the party
Unlike Republicans.

You're brain-dead. Yes, Republicans caused both chambers to debate their objections.

As far as Gore, he was fighting to get all votes to be counted. You know, the opposite of rejecting the will of the people.

Where Trump called for vote counting to be halted.

And he only backtracked on that when someone told him if they did, Biden would be the winner.

Elections have consequences Dems. Now sit down and shut it,

 

[LA RAM FAN]
