#House #Speaker #Republicans
Blame the majority-ignorant voters who elected them.
Certain a lot of people, are now leaving the Republican party, I know I, and my 80yo sister have !
The solidarity is inspiring.😅
Is there a way for Democrats to take over the house? like 8 or so Republicans voted for Jeffries? a long with 210 or so Democrats? could this work??????
no that wont work for Democrats
Democrats need the Majority in the House ..
the Speakership …
not at all
Of course it’s possible, but there’s a much better way: the voters next year (I know a lot of harm can be done while we wait) need to make sure there are 230 Democrats sitting in those seats and only 205 Republicans, come January 3, 2025, and January 3, 2027, and January 3, 2029, etc. After Republicans keep losing and losing and losing, they will reform the party. Here’s the problem they have. Supporting traditional Republican policies and a respectful tone, as reflected in the leadership of the likes of Charles Halleck, Bob Michel, John Rhodes, Gerald Ford produced Democratic House majorities for 58 out of 62 years starting in 1933. 58-4 years of (D) vs. (R) control of the House, regardless of who was president. As a result, you saw Gingrich change the tone of the debate from respectful to nasty prior to the 1994 election. Voila! Republicans became and have remained competitive.
While they “updated” their tone and have only gotten worse on that count, in the last 30 years, they have not updated their policies which continue to not benefit most Americans by a long shot. Despite all the proof that leaving more money in the hands of the rich and corporations does not “trickle down” because the rich refuse to share but a tiny bit of their fortunes and then want to decide who they share it with (and why did everyone else deserve only a trickle instead of a gush), tax cuts and deregulation (reducing costs for business) are the only things they actually stand for. They cannot win elections based on economic issues or, under Trump, foreign policy, since he kowtows to foreign dictators, so openly admitting to wanting to be one himself.
Given that, what is it that they can do now besides admit that Democrats have better, if not perfect, ideas for running the government than they do? In their hearts, Republicans surely must believe this, but are stuck defending the same old same old that has failed because those who pony up the big bucks (Trump sucking most of the little bucks out of the campaign finance system these days) want the same old same old that made them super rich to continue forever.
As a result, it is that approach to eeconomics, controlling people’s private lives, and demeaning anyone who disagrees with them that motivates Republican voters. Thing is, under Republicans, lots of working people think that the GOP wants them to be winners, but that’s true only if you think that making $50,000 a year while other people around you are making $30,000 makes you a winner, forgetting that all of you are losers compared to the rich people making millions every single year just collecting dividends off their investments, not doing a shred of work.
Sadly, Republican voters buy into that system, because Republican politicians say nice things about them while doing nothing for them. Why anyone could possibly need a politician to tell them how wonderful they are, when family, friends, co-workers have surely been doing that their whole lives, I can’t imagine.
Yes GOP Candidates for Speaker are Lining Up to see Who can KISS TRUMP BUTTOCKS. Faster an better then the other. 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
I don’t have any confidence in our system or the people in government or military positions. Biden can only be congratulated so much for the fire he started,
Great to keep delaying. No money for stupid foreign wars. (Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Iran, etc.)
The party is undergoing a Adhd Epidemic. The leader has epidemic.
BE ABLE TO A SPEAKERS OF THE WHITEHOUSE AND NO MISTAKE AND NO JOKE,NO GAME ON WRONG DOING
7 of the 9 new nominees are election deniers that refused to certify Biden as the winner, All of them are traitors to America and democracy!
They sill got the shutdown they wanted, And are trying to help Putin…
Byron Donalds is a Trumper!!!!!
Give the country a favor and give up, cause your getting worse than they realize.
Byron Donalds was flew with Donalds to the Iowa State Fair.
Get outta here with this ___
Byron Donald’s is a black Jim Jordan so he’s the one that we need that the American public
we all know these trump HOUSE republicans are NOT going to allow Byron Donalds to become the first black Speaker of the HOUSE while trump is the candidate
Emmer is just another RINO.
No Byron Donalds he is as bad as Jim Jordan.
Stop being trumps puppet on a string
Time to vote trump out
