Imagine never passing a bill in the 17 years that you have been in office, but thinking you can be the Speaker. Surely right wingers will be concerned with that, as that is one of their reasons for Alexandria not being a good representative, because she has not passed any bills.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated that his caucus would be open to reaching some form of agreement with traditional Republicans to reopen the House, saying that informal conversations have accelerated the last few days and that its his hope they will continue. When asked by CNNs Manu Raju if he was open to further empowering interim Speaker Patrick McHenry, Jeffries indicated he was open to the possibility. Our focus right now relates not just to any one individual, but to getting the institution reopened. I have respect for Patrick McHenry. I think he is respected on our side of the aisle. There are a whole host of other Republicans who are respected on our side of the aisle. Jim Jordan is not one of them, he told CNN.Jeffries also said that conversations between senior Democrats and Republicans have accelerated in recent days and that its his hope they will continue to do so tonight. The informal conversations that have accelerated over the last few days, my hope, now that it's clear Jim Jordan lacks the votes to be speaker that those conversations will accelerate this evening, Jeffries said, adding that he has no meetings planned with the interim speaker but that high level members on the Democratic side of the aisle are ready, willing and able to have those conversations. He also said: Paging my traditional Republican colleagues. It's time to get off the sidelines, break away from the extremists. Get in the arena, so we can find a bipartisan path forward. Jeffries indicated that Ukraine aid and aid to Israel would have to be part of the agenda when the House reopens. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean they need to make someone the speaker, personally I would love to see an coalition candidate because then maybe they'd be a little more bipartisan out of fear of removal.

So, if 10 Republicans decide to not show up for work tomorrow and it leaves 212 Dems and 211 Reps, the Dem majority can call for a speaker vote and get Jeffries? Is that how it works?

So, it's kind of an unspoken rule of politics that you don't go after a politician's family (unless they directly inject themselves onto the scene, like Hillary did vis-a-vis Bill Clinton). So reading the tea leaves, I'm going to say that more than 20 will vote against Jordan this time when the final count is taken.
Politicians are petty creatures by nature. You don't go after their families, or risk them burning you alive (in a political sense). --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker. I'm as Canadian as Wayne Gretzky crashing a snowmobile into a moose. - JIC X ... Copied to Clipboard!
