Seems like the Dems can now pick the next house speaker

Hasn't Tom Cole thrown his hat in the ring? He seems to be the least Crazy among all those who have. I think the question for any Repub who would side with Dems to vote for someone reasonable is.............would they be primaried by a nutbag in the next election cycle and risk losing their seat?
Perhaps… but they don’t even need to side with Dems. All that’s needed is a moderate Republican to throw their hat in the ring and rally a small amount of support within their conference. At that point the Dems can pull a fast one and give that person their votes and he/she is the new speaker. It would be a baller move that leaves Gaetz and Jordan with their thumbs stuck up their butts
 
It’s not up to Democrats – it would be up to Republicans to agree to such a plan.

Which they won’t.
Actually a nomination for speaker only needs a majority of members. Traditionally dismiss the majority party would pick the speaker. But if the democrats can make a deal with some of the moderate republicans, With everyone involved being a majority of the membership, Then they can nominate someone.
 
I didn’t admit I’m a dem nor am I. And the move wouldn’t be about support. It would be about getting the lesser of two evils in power
That’s subjective. Country is too polarized if one works with the other side they get black balled. If you see the Dems as the lesser of two evils you are cray cray.
 
Holding the third most powerful position in America and shifting the power paradigm is awe fully more tempting than a vote.

Not when you are replacing a guy who just got ousted for making a deal with the democrats. He wouldn't last 5 seconds in the spot.
 
As with President Obama, conservatives would respond to a Black speaker with racism and hate.
His politics was way to the left of the left. He was a good orator however he was not very knowledgeable of the mechanics of his views and what happened as President. Romney exposed him in their first debate. Then Romney threw the second debate like a gambler owing loan sharks.
 
All the Dems need to do is pick a moderate Republican who can gain a handful of votes from his/her fellow Republicans and they can make that person the next speaker.

It would would completely take the wind out of the stunt that Matt Geatz and crew are fundraising off of and give the Dems a better opposition than the wingnuts like Jim Jordan would provide. Thoughts?
If they wanted to do that they could have done it with McCarthy.
 
Out of NY not a guaranteed win when he runs again, he would not take that risk
Maybe maybe not. Depends on how many Republican he can get behind him. Like I said. Spreaker of the house is a very tempting proposition
 
That’s subjective. Country is too polarized if one works with the other side they get black balled. If you see the Dems as the lesser of two evils you are cray cray.
I wasn’t talking about the Dems genius. I was talking about a moderate Republican vs hard liner in the eyes of the Dems.

How would he get booted?
 
What have I been wrong about?
The republicans will select a speaker they can all live with and whatever the dems do won't matter... McCarthy's friends will get over their butthurt and join forces for what's right... Geatz's stunt wasn't well thought out but McCarthy has had this coming... he was a terrible minority leader and Pelosi dragged him around by his nose for years.... RINO's think its a win if they can fund raise and that mentality is growing old with the voters... McConnell is next to be ushered into retirement....
This is what a responsible party does... they take out the trash...
I wish the dems would do the same...
 
It doesn’t matter what you think of democrats. The party has proven itself to be functional as far as governing goes.
Which Lib city is clean, safe, prosperous, likeminded and united?
The quality of life in ALL blue shitholes sucks ass for the poor and those average Joes you proclaim to cherish.
 
No McCarthy was a butt kissing Trumptard
